Vanessa Rousso and Faraz Jaka Eliminated on the Bubble
Faraz Jaka moves all-in from under the gun for 68,000 and Vanessa Rousso then raises to 120,000. Joe Tehan then asks Rousso how much she has behind and proceeds to move all-in.
Rousso looks around and says "Five handed, I don't think I can fold this."
She turns to Jaka and asks "How do you feel about this?".
Jaka replies with "I am just having fun watching."
Rousso then announces call and they turn over:
Jaka - AA
Rousso - QQ
Tehan - 42
The flop comes down 964 and Jaka maintains his lead with Rousso still ahead in the side pot.
However, the turn is the 4 and suddenly Tehan has a huge lead.
The river is the T and Tehan knocks both players out with trip fours.
With 12 players remaining and now in the money, play has concluded for the day.
Tehan - 1,142,000
