Jaka v Negreanu
Faraz Jaka and Daniel Negreanu have been battling over on their table here in the Pavilion Room. In a recent hand Negreanu opened to 675, a player in the small blind called and so too did Jaka from the big blind.
The dealer flopped and the blinds checked to Negreanu who continued for 1,200. Only Jaka called.
Jaka check-called 2,500 from Negreanu after the turned and both players checked after the rivered. Jaka opened for tens and sevens and Negreanu mucked.
"I was protecting my five," he told Jaka.
Negreanu slipped to 6,400 and Jaka's stack just keeps on growing, pushing towards 70,000.
