Reigning WSOP Champ Gets Lucky to Stay Alive

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A short-stacked Martin Jacobson, who you of course know as the winner of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event for $10 million, shoved all in for 8,025 from early position and Dominik Nitsche called from the button. The blinds both folded and Jacobson discovered he was between a rock and a hard place.

Nitsche: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Jacobson: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop was no help to Jacobson, but the {A-Hearts} was just what he was looking for. The {3-Diamonds} river failed to help Nitsche, and he frustratingly send some chips to the Swede.
