Jaka New Chip Leader With Knockout Squeeze Play Eliminating Agarwal
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Allen raised to 100,000 from early position, Aditya Agarwal flat called from late position, and Faraz Jaka gave both players a squeeze with a three-bet to 420,000. Allen folded, and Agarwal put in a back-raise for all of his chips worth 2,000,000. Jaka went into deep thought and queried, "Does he have more than me?"
There was no official count, but the consensus at the table was that they were very close in chips. Jaka called.
Aditya Agarwal: 9♠9♣
Faraz Jaka: J♦J♠
The board ran out with something for everyone with 5♠Q♣J♥9♥6♠. Both players held a set, but Jaka's hand was the winner and he also had Agarwal covered by 100,000.
