Petrov Doubles to Leave Jacobson Short
Yordan Petrov raised from under the gun and Martin Jacobson called on the button before the big blind also came along. Petrov continued for 8,500 on the flop, and only Jacobson called.
Petrov fired again on the turn for 25,000, and the Swede once again made the call.
There was now 85,000 in the pot, and Petrov thought through his next move for a few minutes before announcing all in for 59,000 after the had fallen. Jacobson had him covered and allowed himself some thinking time before making the call.

Martin Jacobson:
Both players had a pair of aces but Petrov's king kicker played, and he doubled up to 240,000.
Just a few hands later, Jacobson would be left even shorter after he called Clifford Pappas' button all in from the small blind.
