Taylor Doubles Through Jacobson

Shamus

In the last hand of Level 23, Steven Bradbury raised to 109,000 from early position, and both Jonas Klausen (hijack) and Martin Jacobson (button) called. James Taylor then pushed all in from the small blind for an additional 335,000, and the action was on Bradbury.

Bradbury didn't take too long to fold. Klausen took a little longer, then let it go as well. Jacobson looked down at his chips for about thirty seconds, then decided to make the call.
