Nia Bounces Back
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Nia opened to 65,000 on the button with Q?J?, with Faraz Jaka defending his big blind holding K?5?.
Jaka checked the 5?3?3? flop and called when Nia continued for 110,000. Jaka checked again after Nia took the lead on the J? turn.
The Q? river saw Nia make two pair, with Jaka leading out for 100,000. Nia announced a raise to 375,000 and Jaka took some time before tossing in the call.
Nia showed Jaka the bad news and recovered some lost chips.
