Massive Pot Goes Ruziacka's Way
We predicted Vojtech Ruzicka would be involved in a key hand sooner or later and we were correct. He now has 1,850,000 after winning the majority of Martin Jacobson's stack.
Jacobson opened to 50,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Ruzicka in his big blind. He asked Jacobson how many chips he had behind and Jacobson replied, "860,000." With that information in hand, Ruzicka called.
The dealer placed the 
flop onto the felt and Ruzicka checked then called a 45,000 bet from Jacobson. The 
turn saw Ruzicka check again. Jacobson increased his bet size to 100,000 and Ruzicka removed a tower of 5,000 chips from his stack and called.
The river was the 
and Ruzicka checked for a third time. Jacobson bet 265,000, which left him with just 360,000 behind and Ruzicka sprung into action with a raise all-in!
Jacobson sat for close to two minutes without showing any emotion whatsoever, but as time passed by the young Swede became more and more animated — he really was being put through the emotional wringer. Eventually, after around five minutes of torturing himself, Jacobson released his hand and Vojtech soared into a substantial chip lead.
