After opening to 450 from early position Faraz Jaka watched Jorge Vergara ship the remainder of his stack forward rather quickly, putting what looked to be about 4,000 at risk.
The action folded back around to Jaka, and the man known as "The Toilet" due to his affinity for suited cards that can make a flush decided to respect the power play by folding.
"Pick one..." offered the Vergara, while sliding his two down cards over to Jaka. "They're both good."
Jaka obliged and slowly squeezed the while showing the table, before moving on the to next hand.

A little while after folding a pot away to Jorge Vergara's preflop shove, Faraz Jaka tangled with him again in a recent hand, and this time he was the one left to show a single hole card.
In their previous confrontation Vergara offered to show one half of his hand, and Jaka obliged by turning over the .
This time, the two played with a flop of already on board, and about 4,500 already in the pot. Jaka was acting from under the gun and he fired out a bet of 1,500, causing Vergara to wince and begin to count down his stack.
"Man..." he said aloud in Jaka's direction. "You flop a baby set or something?"
Finally, Vergara decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and his cards were slid toward the dealer, but while he did so Vergara asked for the favor to be returned.
"Show?" he asked Jaka from across the table. "You owe me one."
Jaka obliged after hearing Vergara's reasoning, and with a sinner's smile spreading on his face, "The Toilet" flicked the face up near the flop.
"Really?" asked Vergara when he saw the sight of a non-paired card. "I folded ace-jack."
