Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Pascal Lefrancois
Pascal Lefrancois

Pascal Lefrancois has just been eliminated by Vojtech Ruzicka and the final 16 players are redrawing for the last time.

Lefrancois got the last of his chips into the middle with {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Ruzicka, who has shown a penchant for making big calls, called with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Lefrancois' tournament came to an abrupt end.

Jacobson Wins Monster Pot; Stretches Clear

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Martin Jacobson - the man to catch
Martin Jacobson - the man to catch

It might just be in the stars that Martin Jacobson will win this tournament. He's taken out the dangerous Vladimir Troyanovski in a pot worth around 600,000 chips.

All the chips went in preflop with Jacobson holding ace-king to Troyanovski's pocket jacks. The overnight chip leader couldn't hold and leaves four places short of the money.

Jacobson Wins 10-Minute Hand

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Martin Jacobson has just added yet more chips to his stack in a hand that spanned 10 minutes.

It was Jacobson who started the betting, raising 16,000 from the hijack. Vicky Coren folded, David Kitai called on the button and Jonathan Duhamel called in the small blind.

Duhamel checked the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, Jacobson bet 33,000 and only Kitai called. The {8-Hearts} was greeted with checks from both active players but the {10-Clubs} saw Jacobson lead for 86,000.

Kitai went deep into the tank, so deep we thought he would never emerge again! He shaped to call, then pulled his hand back. He then recounted his stack two or three times, checked the size of the other stacks and went back to staring at Jacobson. Everyone talks about the "Ivey Stare" but Jacobson has one that rivals even the great man.

A full nine minutes later Kitai folded, showing {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Jacobson declined to show and he approaches one million chips.

Coren Eliminated by the Unstoppable Jacobson

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Andras Nemeth & Vicky Coren
Andras Nemeth & Vicky Coren

Martin Jacobson can do nothing wrong right now and will be disappointed to be sent on a dinner break.

Team PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren open-shoved from under the gun with what turned out to be {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and the players folded in turn around to Jacobson in the big blind. The young Swede snap-called and showed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and with that Coren was eliminated and Jacobson climbed past one million chips.

"Back to back," said Jacobson to one of his table mates, suggesting he had aces in the big hand with Kitai a few minutes earlier.
