Jacob Cracks Five Figures

Alex Jacob has a shade more than 10,000 chips following a pot against an opponent in which Jacob snapped off a bluff. Both players checked a {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop. On the turn {9-Spades} the big blind bet 700 and Jacob called.

The river fell {6-Clubs}. The big blind fired out a sizable bet, 1,600 chips. Jacob tanked for a minute and then called with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}.

"Good call," said Jacob's opponent. "King-high." He flashed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and then mucked.
