Wilkinson Doubles Through Jacobson
We at the bloggers' desk had been amusing ourselves by noting down the number of times David Wilkinson had shoved preflop, much the way that prison inmates scratch the number of days they've spent inside on the wall. We'd reached three, when he got a call.
Wilkinson had been on the button when he'd shoved this time. Martin Jacobson had called from the big blind.

Board:
To some cheering from Wilkinson's rail, he doubled to 2.1 million. Jacobson dropped down to 2 million.
Said Wilkinson afterwards, we think to Mike Ellis: "Question is why did I make a move on the rock? That was a good call with ace-jack."
