Percy Jacobs Eliminated in 19th Place ($13,720)
Percy Jacobs entered Day 3 as the shortest stack with 2,700,000, and then he started off the day in the small blind, losing 500,000 off the top.
After the hand, Jacobs patiently folded in the first orbit before he found himself in the big blind, where he had to commit 1,000,000 for the ante and 1,000,000 for the blind, leaving him with 200,000 behind.
The situation didn’t get easy for him when Ha Duong limped from under the gun, and then Axel Orellana, the chip leader, moved all in. Action folded to Jacobs, who peeled his cards and shrugged his shoulders before tossing in his remaining chips.
Ha got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Percy Jacobs: 5♥2♦ 
Axel Orellana: 7♦7♠
Jacobs was well behind and didn’t improve when the dealer fanned K♥A♣8♦ on the flop. Jacobs picked up a pair when 2♠ showed up on the turn, but the 8♠ gave Orellana the winning hand to send Jacobs out in 19th place.
