Jacobson Runs into Broadway

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

Martin Jacobson put his last 31,000 into the middle and got two callers that ended up playing a side pot.

Jacobson's opponents both checked the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and the {q-Diamonds} turn. One of the two players bet 100,000 on the {10-Clubs} river and the other player snapped it off.

Martin Jacobson: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Player #1: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Player #2: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Both players had made Broadway on the river, so they chopped with each other. Martin Jacobson's pair of fives was no good for the pot and he saw his tournament come to an end.

Deeb Sends One out on the Money Bubble

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action picked up on a river with a pot containing 290,000 and a board reading {6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} between Shaun Deeb in the small blind and the opponent in the cutoff.

Deeb bet all-in on the river and the opponent snap-called for 269,000.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Shaun Deeb: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Deeb had a pair of aces with a queen kicker to eliminate the other player in 81st place and the remaining 80 players have all been guaranteed $8,061.

Kolev Cracks Romero's Cowboys

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Boris Kolev
Boris Kolev

Boris Kolev opened in middle position before a short stack three-bet shoved for about 90,000. James Romero came in over the top for about 350,000 before Kolev, who had both his opponents covered, called to create a three-way showdown.

Short Stack: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
James Romero: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Boris Kolev: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

It appeared to be an amazing spot for Romero to double through Kolev while eliminating another opponent. But instead, Kolev improved to a full house after the {3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} ran out on the board to send both Romero and the short-stacked player to the rail.
