River Jack Rescues Jacob

Alex Jacob
Alex Jacob

Wild hand just now involving Alex Jacob.

Preflop action had build a small pot between Jacob and an opponent before the first three community cards came {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Jacob's opponent led for 13,500, and Jacob responded by reraising all in for 39,800 total. His opponent quickly called, tabling {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for the flopped full house. Jacob was in dire straits with his {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Jacob was still hurting. But the river brought the {J-Clubs}, and Jacob survived. He's got 90,000 now.
