Jacobson Busts Day 1 Chip Leader
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Preflop action had the former main event champion, Martin Jacobson, going heads-up with the Day 1 chip leader, Gregor Sverko. Sverko was in the small blind and when action came around, he moved all in for 175,000. Jacobson called from under the gun and the cards were on their backs.
Gregor Sverko: 
Martin Jacobson: 
The flop was 
which gave Jacobson top pair. A 
showed up on the turn and then a 
on the river to give Sverko a pair but it wasn't enough to beat Jacobson's pair of aces and he exited the tournament halfway through Level 23.
