Jacks for Jaka

Faraz Jaka started a recent hand off by raising 450 preflop, it looked like it might fold around, but Stephen Chidwick decided he'd gamble.

On a {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} flop Jaka again lead with aggression by betting out 500. Chidwick called and it was to the turn we go. A {5-Spades} graced the turn and it was here Jaka slowed down by checking. Chidwick jumped on this opportunity and fired out 1,200, Jaka called.

On the {6-Hearts} river both players checked and cards were turned over. Jaka showed {J-}{J-} for a pair of jacks, and it was apparently the best hand as Chidwick mucked his cards.
