Jacobson Falls Straight Over Straight
Benjamin Pollak opened to 25,000 from under the gun and found two callers in Martin Jacobson on the button and Nicolas Vayssieres in the small blind.
Pollak and Vayssieres checked the 
flop, with Jacobson firing 33,000. Vayssieres called while Pollak folded, leaving the hand heads up to the 
turn. Both players then checked to the 
river, where Vayssieres led out for 101,000.
Jacobson took a moment before announcing a raise to 350,000, representing more than half of his remaining stack. Vayssieres then raised the rest, putting the decision back on Jacobson with a straight on the board.
After using all three of his remaining time banks, Jacobson tossed in the call and turned over 
for a jack-high straight. Vayssieres quickly revealed 
for a queen-high straight, and Jacobson wished everyone good luck on his way to the payout desk.
