Jaka Gets Stacked
Level 4
: 75/150, 25 ante
Action folded to the player on the button and he raised to 400. The small blind made it 1,500, and after a bit of thought, Faraz Jaka jammed from the big blind for what looked like about 4,500. The button folded and the small blind called to put Jaka at risk.
Faraz Jaka: 
Small blind: 
Jaka had the preflop edge and his opponent needed to improve to win. He pulled ahead on the 
flop with two pair, and neither the 
turn nor 
river was any help to Jaka, so the small blind took the pot to stack him.
"Crazy 888, indeed," Jaka said as he stood up to make his exit.

There were about 2,500 chips in the middle and the

Nguyen had flopped top pair, top kicker, but found himself trailing his opponent's set of sevens. The 
turn and river missed both players entirely and Nguyen's opponent took the pot to double up.
