Alex Jacob Makes the Call

With the board reading {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, Alex Jacob bet 1,600 and another player raised to 9,000. Two other players in the hand folded and Jacob was left to his decision. It took him some time but eventually he called, and was pleased to see that his {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} was ahead of his opponent's {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. The river brought the {6-Hearts} and Jacob doubled to 22,000.
