Jacob Not Slowing Down

After about a half hour of relative inactivity, a pot finally develops:

It started with Alex Jacob raising to 250,000 from the button. Both Ray Foley and Wei Mu called out of the blinds, and it was three ways to the flop.

It came out {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, and all three men checked. The turn card was the {J-Diamonds}. The blinds checked again, and Jacob slowly counted out chips. He settled on 400,000 and slid them carefully out into the center of the table. Foley ducked out quickly, but Mu made the call just as fast.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Mu checked again, and Jacob announced a big all in. After some careful studying, Mu gave up and open-mucked his {8-Hearts} {10-Hearts}.

Jacob picks up almost 1,000,000 chips in that exchange.
