Faraz Jaka Tour – Part 1 of 3
Faraz Jaka is one of the hottest tournament poker players playing today and is known only as “The Toilet” because he used to always love to hit flushes. Jaka made this video exclusively for Poker News Daily which is a tour of his home at the Aqua Building which is rated by some as the single nicest building to live in worldwide, which resides in downtown Chicago.
In Part 1 of this three part video we get to see Faraz Jaka introduce us to his building and we get to see the incredible views of the lake from 43 stories up in his apartment. We also get to meet his roommate and find a very special (and brutalized) laptop computer which holds a lot of sentimental value for Jaka.
Jaka is a PocketFives.com Triple Crown winner, who recently appeared in a series of poker telecasts on ESPN’s coverage of the PokerStars NAPT events. He recently finished in 3rd place at the NAPT High Roller event for an $80,000 cash and has over $2.1 million in tournament earnings to his name from just live events.
