Michael Nia raised to 70,000 on the button, and Faraz Jaka came along from the big blind. Jaka led out on the flop of [Ah][4h][5s] for 85,000, and Nia called to see the [5c] hit the turn.. Jaka fired 250,000 this time, and Nia raised all in.
Jaka rechecked his hand, and then called, showing [Qh][5d] for turned trips. Nia showed [Ad][Qs], which was well ahead on the flop, but now well behind, and Jaka secured the double up with a [4d] on the river.
Suddenly, Jaka is second in chips, and Nia, who has been the chip leader virtually all day, is now the short stack, though he still has about 60 big blinds.
