A battle of the blinds turned almost deadly between Faraz Jaka and Timothy Adams moments ago.
We caught the hand on the river with the board reading 
and close to 60,000 in the pot. Adams pushed all in for 35,000 and Jaka sat mulling it over for a good two and a half minutes with about 45,000 behind.
Eventually he folded his hand and as Adams closes in on the 100,000-chip mark, Jaka has less than half that.

Table 370, already housing JC Tran, Chino Rheem, Hoyt Corkins, and Chris Moorman, just added Phil Ivey to the intimidating lineup. Ivey's stack has been blinded off as he competed in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., but he's getting settled in here now.
