Preflop Mistake Costs Jaakson Tournament Life
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After Fredrik Kaarvall had opened from middle position, Ott Jaakson put in about two-thirds of his 35,000 stack from the small blind. The short-stacked big blind quickly folded, after which Kaarvall announced an all-in bet with the covering stack.
"I didn't see that [you raised]," Jaakson stated, "but I think I'm committed now." He called off his remaining chips, and the cards went face-up.
Ott Jaakson: J♥4♥ 
Fredrik Kaarvall: A♠K♣
Jaakson received no help on the 2♦5♣7♠Q♠3♠ board. Kaarvall's big slick held, and Jaakson took a frustrating exit during the final few hands of Day 1a.
