A player on the button opened to 3,500 and was called by the small blind as well as Faraz Jaka out of the big blind.
Action checked through the 
flop to the 
turn at which point Jaka bet 7,000 after the small blind checked to him. The button player called while the small blind folded to send the two players heads-up to the river.
The 
river double paired the board but that did not seem to concern Jaka, who fired off 15,000. His opponent thought for a while before calling and was shown 
by Jaka for the full house, a hand he could not beat.
