Battle of Junk Cards Goes in Samual��s Favor
The hand started off innocently enough.
Darius Samual limped from the button with 7?4?, and Faraz Jaka checked his option at the big blind with 6?3?.
The dealer fanned 3?4?Q? on the board, giving both players a piece. Jaka checked his bottom pair, leading to Samual to bet 80,000 on his middle pair. Jaka called.
The turn then provided fireworks after 7? appeared on the board, which gave Samual two pair. Meanwhile, Jaka still had bottom pair, but picked up a gut-shot straight draw.
Jaka checked, prompting Samual to bet 250,000. Jaka came over the top with a check-raise of 750,000, which bloated the pot to 1,320,000.
The action caused Samual to momentarily pause, but he responded in kind by announcing an all-in bet. Jaka promptly folded his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Samual.
