Wice and Jacobson Play Out Biggest Pot of the Tournament So Far
Wowzers.
Martin Jacobson opened to 120,000 from middle position.
"How much are you playing?" asked Wice from the small blind.
"Around 4.5 [million]," came the reply.
Wice elected to just call and the players went heads-up to see a flop where the Canadian decided to lead for 200,000 but Jacobson made the call. The turn was the and Wice now fired 610,000, the Swede took longer in his decision this time but again he made the call as the pot grew to nearly 2 million.
The deathly hush around the table became more apparent as the dealer silently put out the river. Wice bet again, 1,100,000 this time which was around of a third of Jacobson's very sizeable stack. Finally, the latter folded, perhaps a decision influenced by the third club but we'll never know.
Wice adds another million to his stack.
