Martin "MJacobson888" Jacobson opened to 12,000 from middle position and got a call from "Alamean" from the small blind. Jacobson called a bet of 12,127 after the {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} came on the flop and called another bet of 20,131 after the {q-Diamonds} came on the turn.

"Alamean" fired out a third bullet for 33,417 and Jacobson once again made the call. "Alamean" turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the pot went to Jacobson after he turned over {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.
