Martin Jacobson, winner of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas for $10,000,000, fired a bet of 2,600 on the board into two opponents after action checked around on the flop. His first opponent called, and the second one folded.
The river was the to put two pair on the board, and Jacobson checked. His opponent bet 6,000, and Jacobson called.
After seeing his opponent turn over the , Jacobson tabled the to win the pot.
With 10,150 in the middle we just witnessed Seidel check from the small blind. His neighbor, chip leader Patrick Zellweger, bet 3,800. Seidel quickly called but mucked upon seeing Zellweger's . A small loss for Seidel who's still on a way above average chip stack.
Fedor Holz's seat was empty and his stack nowhere to be found. Former table mate Tom Hall told us what had happened.
Holz had gotten short and found with just 9 big blinds left. He shoved those in but got called by a player in middle position holding . Holz got a flush draw but it remained a draw, it never materialized.
We didn't see the hand as it happened, but Rubie informed us he busted after flopping trip jacks holding . Unfortunately for him, an opponent held and his short run came to an end in Level 4.
The players are on their 75-minute dinner break. When they return the blinds will be 200/400 with a 50 ante. A total of 3 more levels are scheduled for tonight.
Jesse Sylvia just raised before the flop and got one caller, on the button, before Byron Kaverman moved all in from the big blind for 6,950. Sylvia tanked for quite some time before calling, and the player on the button folded.

Kaverman:
The board ran out and Kaverman was granted another chance in this event.
As we walked up to Chance Kornuth's new table (he had been moved and had brought 67,000 in chips with him), we saw a big pot brewing. The board read and Ashley Mason (small blind) and his opponent (big blind) sat there in silence for a moment.
Ashley "DYBYDX" Mason, SCOOP 2011 High Roller champion for $430,000, bet out 5,500. His neighbor instantly called, but couldn't beat Mason's for the rivered two pair. The big blind open mucked his with a disgusted look on his face, and had to leave the pot to Mason.
After a player in early position raised to 800 action folded to Samantha Abernathy in the big blind. She defended and then both players checked the turn as well as the river. That's when Abernathy bet 1,100, which did the trick as her opponent folded.
That was a small pot, but just one of many Abernathy has collected as of late. As you can see, she's nearly doubled her stack in the last 30 minutes.
