Reigning WSOP Champ Gets Lucky to Stay Alive
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
A short-stacked Martin Jacobson, who you of course know as the winner of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event for $10 million, shoved all in for 8,025 from early position and Dominik Nitsche called from the button. The blinds both folded and Jacobson discovered he was between a rock and a hard place.
Nitsche: 
Jacobson: 
The 
flop was no help to Jacobson, but the 
was just what he was looking for. The 
river failed to help Nitsche, and he frustratingly send some chips to the Swede.
