. Jacobson shoves all in, and Lodden calls. Toth also comes along for the ride. Lodden shows pocket kings and Jacobson reveals 10

for the flush draw, as does Toth but with A
K
. The turn comes 7
and the river the 9

Lodden did not last the hour but should be happy about making his first ever EPT final table. Stay tuned for an interview with Johnny Lodden. He spoke to us before hitting the final table today.

Chip Exchange
Oct 31, '08
Waiting for the final person to bust out is a slow process. Ivo Donev has made some all in moves but to no avail, Ciprian Hrisca has been pushing as much as he can with little success, and Jacobson is getting increasingly short stacked. In a hand with Zoltan Toth where there was 50,000 in the pot preflop, the flop came down 8
7
.3
Jacobson looked to be the dominating factor when he made a bet of 100,000 with only 213,000 behind. Toth tankes and then reraised it to 300,000 in total, ultimately putting Jacobson all in. The tables were turned and Jacobson folded after a few minutes.

Alexander the Great
Oct 30, '08
Alexander Kravchenko bets 15,000 preflop, and Martin Jacobson calls. The flop falls Q
8
8
and it's checks all around. The turn is the 2
and once again its checkety-check. The river spurs Kravchenko into action with the A
and he bets 16,000. Jacobson folds and Kravchenko takes a tidy pot down.
