Championship Day 3: Miracle Run Over for Jaka

$3,500 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship
Level 23: 10,000/20,000/3,000 Ante

Faraz Jaka was in the midst of writing a great comeback story but he came up short. Earlier he was down to one big blind before the bubble on Day 2 but built it back over 400,000 to safely slide into the money. Jaka had another drop to five big blinds before rebounding to bag 431,000 by the end of the night.

His final hand came when Mohsin Charania open shoved for 395,000 and Jaka had just 30,000 behind in the small blind. He called with 9h4d against Charania’s AdJd and needed help.

The Kh5h2s did nothing to improve his situation but he added an open-ended straight draw on the 3c turn. No love for the Jaka-comeback story when on the river Jc to send the popular out in 52nd.
