Jaka Makes Quads. Twice.
Level 15: 4,000-8,000, 500 ante
Faraz "The-Toliet" Jaka's hot streak continues. We missed the action, but the players at the table couldn't wait to fill us in on Jaka's latest big pot. A player raised in middle position and Jaka reraised in position. His opponent called and they saw a K-10-4 flop. The other player checked, Jaka bet, and his opponent called. Both players checked when a six fell on the turn. The river brought a second king and Jaka's opponent pushed all-in. Jaka quickly called and showed pocket kings for quad kings to eliminate the player and up his chip count to 2,650,000 chips.
With that player's elimination play was paused so the final 36 players could redraw for the last four tables. Jaka pulled the seat card for the empty seat next to him, meaning he didn't have to rack up his enormous pile of chips.
"Now I'm really running well," Jaka said.
He just didn't know how well.
The very first hand after the redraw Justin "Boosted_J" Smith raises to 21,000 and Jaka calls. David Levi moves all-in for around 125,000 total, Smith folds, and Jaka quickly calls with A
A
. Levi shows pocket queens and needs some help. The A

flop is not what Levi is looking for and to add insult to injury Jaka spikes the A
on the turn to make quad aces immediately after making quad kings to eliminate Levi in 34th place.
Faraz Jaka - 2,830,000
David Levi - eliminated
