Jacobson's Stack Soars, Mandredini's Stack Diminishes

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Marcelo Manfredini started out quite well as he busted Antonio Esfandiari in one of his first hands at the table. It hasn't been going so great ever since, as he has since lost back those chips, and then some.

Just now we saw him check call a bet of 15,000 on {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} from the cutoff. It was Martin Jacobson on the button making the bet, and the Swedish WSOP champion bet another 35,000 after Manfredini checked to him on the {6-Spades} river. Manfredini made the call, but couldn't beat Jacobson's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The next hand Brian Rast made it 2,300 from early position. His neighbor Manfredini made the call and Jacobson squeezed to 8,500 from the cutoff. Rast made the call and Manfredini instantly called as well. Both Rast and Manfredini checked on {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and only Rast called Jacobson's 16,000 continuation bet - Manfredini folded. Rast then check folded to Jacobson's second bullet worth 28,000 on the {K-Spades} turn.

Jacobson is doing well with well over twice the starting stack. Marcelo Manfredini isn't doing too good, he has about half starting stack.
