Jaka Can't Beat Ace-High
We really h ave to wonder if Will Failla thought he was going to win a recent when Faraz Jaka called Failla's river bet. Failla had bet 4,000 into a 6,000 pot on the turn, with the board showing . Jaka, in position, called that bet to see the hit the river. Failla then made a half-pot bet of 7,000 and again Jaka called.
"Ace-queen," said Failla. He did not table his hand. Jaka then said something that we couldn't hear, but in response Failla tabled for unimproved ace-queen. Jaka mucked, allowing Failla to drag the pot and climb to 52,000. Jaka is down to 61,000.
