Alex Jacob Eliminated in 4th Place ($190,857)

Alex Jacob - 4th Place
Alex Jacob - 4th Place
First into the pot from the small blind, the now short-stacked Alex Jacob moved all in for 310,000. Big blind Ray Foley called.

Showdown
Jacob: {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Foley: {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

The board would once again provide no help for Jacob and his legendary afro. It ran down {K-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, and that will be the last board Alex Jacob sees tonight. He put on a marvelous show today, and once he grabbed the chip lead, the table was cowering in fear. One big misstep a few hands ago against Ray Foley would be his undoing though, and Jacob couldn't recover once the bleeding started. For his work over the past three days, he'll take home nearly $200,000 but fall three spots short of his first bracelet.
