Jacobson, the Short-Stack Specialist
Level 16
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Martin Jacobson came into the day with just 20 big blinds but as we all know, being a short stack has never deterred him before. After already increasing his stack to nearly 3.0 million, the action was folded to Jacobson in the small blind who just limped in. Greg Himmelbrand raised to 350,000 out of the big blind and Jacobson called.
The flop came 
and Jacobson checked to Himmelbrand who continued for 280,000. Jacobson check-raised to 575,000 and Himmelbrand announced all in. Jacobson quickly called for his last 2.585 million and tabled 
. Himmelbrand tabled 
and would need help to knock out the 2014 WSOP Main Event champion. The turn brought the 
and the river was the 
, securing the double up for Jacobson.
