Jacobson on a Major Slide

Chad Holloway

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Martin Jacobson was off to a great start, but things reversed rather quickly for the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event champ.

In a recent hand, David Dayan opened for 1,000 only to have Jacobson three-bet to 3,000 from the button. Yuichi Sumida then four-bet all in for 9,925 from the big blind, Dayan folded, and Jacobson made the call.

Jacobson:
Sumida:

The flop paired Jacobson, but he needed more help if he hoped to eliminate his Japanese opponent. The turn didn't do it, and neither did the river. Ship the double to Simida.

Amirov Tripped Up

Chad Holloway

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

With around 7,000 in the pot and a flop of , Ilkin Amirov checked from the small blind and Huidong Gu did the same from the big. One more check by Ramin Hajiyev opened the door for Saneh Hanibael to bet 4,000 from the button, Amirov called, and that is when Gu woke up with a check-raise to 15,000.

Hajiyev folded, as did Hanibael, and then Amirov moved all in for 38,000 total. Gu made the call and Amirov discovered the bad news.

Amirov:
Gu:

Both players flopped trips, but Gu's kicker was best. Amirov could still win with an eight, and of course there were chop opportunities, but none materialized as the blanked on the turn followed by the river.

Huidong Gu	120,000
