Jacobsen Busted Again in the Best Company

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Martin Jacobsen and Kara Scott share time at the felt before Jacobsen again busts in Scott's company.
Martin Jacobsen and Kara Scott share time at the felt before Jacobsen again busts in Scott's company.

Martin Jacobsen's career highlight will always be intrinsically shared with a poker player he never had to face when he won the WSOP Main Event. We're talking about legendary presenter and player Kara Scott, who was hosting the World Series spectacular that fateful night when the Swede turned his dreams into reality.

Since then, Kara Scott told us yesterday, the pair have actually met a few times at tournaments. Scott, whose best result remains a runner-up finish at the Irish Open for €312,600, has built a great stack of around 144,000 so far on Day 1a, well above average and looking good for a Day 2 adventure unless something terrible happens in the final level after the break.

Jacobsen, meanwhile busted in Scott's company in the £2,000 High Roller last night and has done the same here, all-in with {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} , called by Kevin Allen's {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and busted by the river.

When they meet again, Jacobsen might wait for a table move to go all-in!
