Reigning World Series of Poker Main Event Champ Falls
Martin Jacobson is no stranger to the EPT, but last year he made himself known to the entire poker world by winning the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event for $10 million. Jacobson is still in his reign as champ, and he was in action here on Day 2 hoping to add an EPT title to his résumé. Unfortunately for him, those hopes just came crashing down.
Jacobson had been nursing a short stack most of the afternoon and was recently relocated to Table 18. In what was either his first or second hand, Jacobson open-shoved for 22,000 from the hijack and Nikolay Komcharokov called from the small blind.

Jacobson got it in good, but he fell behind when the flop came down 
. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped the Swede, and just like that the field lost one of its most accomplished players.
