Benjamin Jacobs Gets His Revenge

Level 9: 600 / 1,200 ante: 1,200
Benjamin Jacobs

Having gotten his aces cracked just a few hands earlier, Benjamin Jacobs got entangled with Ferdinand Lu once more.


This time with a pot of 40,000 centered around board 3♠ 2♠ J♦ 9♥ K♦ , Jacobs faced an all-in from Lu for his remaining 43,300. Jacobs called off with top pair K♠ 4♠ and bagged the win as Lu showed T♦ T♠ , earning him back what he lost along with some change.

Ferdinand Lu

A pot of 13,500 was centered round the middle on flop 5♥ A♥ 7♦ , with three way action seeing Benjamin Jacobs continue for 3,800, called by a player behind.

Lu 8♥ 4♥


Drawing to several outs, Lu one found one on runout 8♦ Q♥ for the win, sending Jacobs' rockets flying towards the muck.
