As we are getting closer to the second break, the field is getting smaller. Smaller stacks feel pressured and try to seize opportunities to double up. That’s what Martin Jacobson did when he found himself in a perfect spot against Nicola Basile. Basile raised his ladies pre-flop to 900K and Jacobson went all-in with his bullets. The board came in Jacobson’s favor, with nothing on it to threaten his hand.
