Jaka Plays it Safe

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

While there's been a lot of wild and crazy action since the money bubble burst, one exception to that trend is Faraz Jaka. We caught up with Jaka as he played a couple hands cautiously. In the first, we came to the table on the flop, with a board of {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and about 7,000 in the pot. Jaka checked from the big blind position, and his opponent also checked. Both players also checked the turn and river as the board ran out {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. His opponent announced "Eight" and turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a rivered pair, and Jaka mucked his cards.

In the very next hand, action folded to Jaka in the small blind, and he raised to 3,100. The big blind called, and the two players saw a flop of {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Jaka checked, his opponent bet out for 2700, and Jaka folded. He is now down to about 33000 in chips.
