Just Kidding

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Day1b Level 7 500/1,000, 1000 ante

Already three-handed, action was picked up on the flop of 855 with about 7,000 in the pot when Faraz Jaka fired 2,000 in the pot from the small blind. Joshua Matti in big called but James Tilton got out of the way.

A flurry of betting happened when the 4 fell on the turn with Jaka keeping the pressure with a 4,000 bet. Matti raised to 11,000. Not to be outdone, Jaka decided to go beyond with a three-bet of 25,000 after a few seconds of consideration. Without wasting any time, Matti shoved all in prompting Jaka to muck his hand immediately as he said, "Just kidding."
