Hoivold Takes on Jacobson

Feb 18, '09

Andreas Hoivold is all-in preflop after claiming to only have looked at one card.

Martin Jacobson has a much nicer stack and so calls flipping over QJ. Hoivold shows the K and then as he takes a look at the other one, he exclaims, "Oh! It's another one!" and reveals the K. The table laughs unsure as to whether believe him or not and the cards are dealt.

55310A appear on the felt and Hoivold doubles up to the 16,000 mark.

Friendlier than Usual

Nov 01, '08

Checked all the way up until the river on a board of 109359, Hrisca puts in a bet of 190,000 and Jacobson calls. Hrisca shows 8-5 for two pair, nines and fives, and Jacobson shows A-Q for ace high.

First Casualty, Goodbye Lodden

Oct 31, '08

Johnny Lodden raises to 55,000, Zoltan Toth calls. William Fry reraises to 152,000, Martin Jacobson tanks and then calls, as do Iversen and Lodden. The flop comes J82. Jacobson shoves all in, and Lodden calls. Toth also comes along for the ride. Lodden shows pocket kings and Jacobson reveals 107 for the flush draw, as does Toth but with AK. The turn comes 7 and the river the 9 and Jacobson takes down the pot with a straight.

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

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 87.3 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 Q88 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.
