Nia Claims the Chip Lead
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Faraz Jaka raised to 27,000 with A?10? in the cutoff and made the call after Michael Nia three-bet to 95,000 with Q?Q? on the button.
Jaka checked the 8?2?4? flop, with Nia firing 125,000. That produced a call from Jaka and the 10? turn was flipped over. Another check from Jaka saw Nia slide out a bet of 250,000.
After taking some time, Jaka counted out the call and the 2? river completed the board. Both players checked it down, with Nia's pair of queens holding to claim the pot.
