More for Jacobson

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

From under the gun, Martin Jacobson raised to 165,000. Peter Placey called from the small blind, and Luis Assuncao called from the big blind. From there, the flop was {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and both Placey and Assuncao checked. Jacobson bet 250,000, and Placey check-raised to 575,000. Assuncao folded, and Jacobson called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and Placey bet 650,000. Jacobson called, and the river was the {8-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

Jacobson showed the {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a pair of kings, and Placey showed the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. That gave Jacobson the pot and moved him up over 12 million in chips.

Sabat Takes Huge Pot from Palmer

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Eddy Sabat
Eddy Sabat

Eddy Sabat was first to act and raised to 180,000. Scott Palmer defended his big blind, then checked to Sabat on a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Sabat bet to 150,000, Palmer check-raised to 400,000, and Sabat quickly called.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, Palmer led out for 825,000, and Sabat made the call.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board and Palmer led out again, this time double-fisting 1.6 million into the pot. Sabbat quickly called and Palmer instantly mucked his hand.

While he was getting pushed the pot, Sabat showed {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a rivered set of jacks.

Bruno and His Pair of Tens

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Craig McCorkell opened in the hijack to 175,000 and both Bruno Politano and Matthew Haugen called in the cutoff and big blind.

The flop fell {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Haugen led for 325,000 with McCorkell folding and Politano calling.

The turn of the {6-Clubs} was checked by both players before the {7-Clubs} on the river again was checked through.

Haugen tabled his {9-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair and a busted flush draw, while Politano tabled his {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a better pair and the pot to move to 6.5 million in chips.

Greer again made the call before the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Greer checked a third time.

Mahin moved all in and Greer mucked while slipping to 1.1 million. Mahin flashed his {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and scooped the pot to move to 3.95 million in chips.

Senft's Passivity Saves Chips

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Sarra Jr. accidentally limped in when he meant to open for a raise in the cutoff, and Luis Velador limped along from the button. Maximilian Senft checked his option, and they took a {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop three-handed. Senft checked, Sarra Jr. bet 100,000, and both opponents called. The turn card was the {5-Spades}, and action checked to Velador, who bet 310,000. Senft called, and Sarra Jr. folded. Both players checked the {3-Clubs} river.

"Just ten-high," Senft said regretfully, showing ten-high diamonds. Velador tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair and two missed draws. Senft expressed regret at not having gotten aggressive on the turn, and Velador said he wasn't going anywhere. Senft hadn't noticed the flush draw, and he chuckled at the realization that he had saved some chips.

Smith Bets River

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Smith made it 170,000 from under the gun and Mark Newhouse called from the hijack. Action folded around the rest of the table, leaving the two heads up to the {9-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Smith checked and Newhouse came out swinging for 225,000. Smith called.

The {6-Clubs} graced the felt on fourth street and Smith knuckled the table. Newhouse checked it back, allowing the {3-Spades} to complete the board. Smith bet 375,000. Newhouse thought for just over two minutes before kicking his cards into the muck. Smith pulled in the pot and now sits around 3.745 million.

Level 28: Maguire, Tuthill & Finstein Among Those to Fall in Post-Dinner Action

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Bracelet
2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Bracelet

Coming back from dinner, 44 players remained in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. Now, through two more levels of play in Level 28, just 37 remain.

The first post-dinner elimination came when Clayton Maguire got all in preflop holding the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades} only to run into the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Craig McCorkell. The flop came seven high, but Maguire would fail to find anymore help and had to settle for 44th place and $186,388 in prize money. Likewise, David Tuthill, who was extremely short stacked at one point on Day 5, earned the same amount after falling in 43rd place when his {9-Spades}{8-Spades} couldn't overcome the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Luis Velador.

One-time chip leader Michael Finstein followed them out the door in 42nd place, and he was soon joined on the rail by the likes of Adam Lamphere (41st - $186,388), Michael Kamran (40th - $186,388), Paul Senter (39th - $186,388), and Shahen Martirosian (38th - $186,388).

The plan for the night is to play down to at least the final 27 players, though tournament officials would like to get to the final 24 if possible within the next two levels. Cards will be in the air in 20 minute, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out Remko Rinkema's interview with chip leader Martin Jacobson:
