Jaka Coming Out Strong

Faraz "The-Toilet" Jaka has raised the first three pots this afternoon.

In the third hand, Jaka opened to 4,000 on the button and Justin Smith flatted in the big blind.

The flop fell {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Smith check-called 8,500 from Jaka. The two checked the {3-Hearts} on the turn, and Smith checked a third time when the {A-Spades} came on the river.

Jaka then made a big bet, 35,000, and Smith went deep into the tank.

"Sorry guys," Smith apologized to his table after minutes of deliberation.

He cut out enough chips to call, but after a little more thinking he slammed them back into his stack and sent his cards into the muck.

Jaka raked in the pot and is off to a quick start with 170,000 chips.
