Jacobson Takes the Lead
Level 26
: 350,000/700,000, 700,000 ante
Martin Jacobson opened to 1,200,000 from late position and Steven Tripp three-bet to 4,200,000 from the small blind. Jacobson four-bet to 10,000,000 and Tripp then moved all in. Jacobson called putting his own tournament life at risk.
Martin Jacobson: 
Steven Tripp: 
The flop came down 
moving Jacobson's hand in front and Tripp would now need an ace to win the pot. The turn 
and river 
did not improve Tripp's hand as Jacobson got the pot and the tournament chip lead.
