Martin Jacobson Eliminated in 2nd Place (�297,984)

Wow, that didn't take long.

Toby Lewis made it 160,000 from the button and Martin Jacobson called. They saw an {a-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop which both players checked. Not so newsworthy so far. But wait...

Turn: {5-Spades}

It looked innocuous enough, but here it got interesting. Jacobson bet out 180,000, and after a short period in the tank Lewis made it 525,000. Back to Jacobson, who enjoyed a little tankage of his own before re-popping to 1,205,000. And then right back to Lewis, who tanked, then made it 2,025,000.

There was surprisingly little pause before Jacobson went all in.

And no pause at all before Lewis called.

Jacobson: {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for two pair
Lewis: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} for a set

The Brits stormed the table, getting extremely excited, the copious amounts of beer they'd been necking all afternoon probably not helping.

"Hold!" they cried. "HOOOOLD, you b****!"

"Guys, calm down," Lewis told them; the play between him and Jacobson has been extremely gentlemanly.

There was a pause while the stacks were counted; Lewis was found to be only just ahead. Jacobson was looking for one of two remaining nines to hang on to his tournament life.

River: not a nine, but the {10-Clubs}
