Jacob Chips Up

[user22113]

Alex Jacob

A semi short-stacked Alex Jacob raised to 1,075 under-the-gun and the big blind called. The two saw a flop of {a-Spades}

{a-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

. After the flop checked around, Jacob called a 2,000 bet on a {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

turn, and another 2,000 after the river brought the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

. Jacob flipped up {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and his opponent sheepishly turned up {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

for a busted straight draw.

Jacob can breathe a little easier as his stack now sits at 13,500.
