Jacobson Wins 10-Minute Hand
Martin Jacobson has just added yet more chips to his stack in a hand that spanned 10 minutes.
It was Jacobson who started the betting, raising 16,000 from the hijack. Vicky Coren folded, David Kitai called on the button and Jonathan Duhamel called in the small blind.
Duhamel checked the

was greeted with checks from both active players but the 
saw Jacobson lead for 86,000.
