Swedish poker professional Martin Jacobson began Day 6 of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event in 14th place out of 79 players with 3,925,000 in chips.

Jacobson is one of the better known poker players in Europe, with almost $5 million in cashes prior to the 2014 Main Event. In January 2011, he finished in second place in the European Poker Tour Main Event in Deauville for over $760,000.

Jacobson also has had success playing nosebleed tournaments, finishing in sixth place in June 2013 $111,111 One Drop charity event for over $800,000. He followed that up with an eighth place finish in Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge for over $310,000.

Jacobson spent a good part of Day 5 in the 2014 WSOP Main Event battling it out with American poker player Matthew Haugen. Early on in the day with the blinds at 12,000/24,000, Jacobson raised pre-flop with 6d-6s to 55,000 from early position and Haugen called from the big blind.

Both players checked the flop and turn on a board of 7s-3h-Qc-4s. However, when the action was checked to Jacobson when the 5c hit on the river, he couldn’t avoid a value bet with a straight. Jacobson bet 200,000 in chips, which Haugen called, increasing Jacobson’s chip stack to over 100 big blinds at 2.4 million in chips.

Jacobson, later in the day, broke the 3.5 million-chip mark when the blinds were 15,000/30,000 against American poker player Brian Roberts. Jacobson had to make a tough call on a board of Ad-9c-2s-7s-Js when Roberts put him to the test with a 165,000-chip bluff with Kh-8d. Jacobson eventually made the call with 9d-6d or third pair on a board that also would have filled a potential flush draw if Roberts were holding two spades.

Later on in Day 5, Jacobson was battling again with Haugen. This time he three-barreled a board of 8h-9h-4c-Qc-As to bring his chip stack to 4.3 million chips.

Haugen got the best of Jacobson soon afterward. Haugen started the day as the chip leader, but found himself down to 130,000 in chips. After making a small comeback, he doubled up to 775,000 chips when he got it all-in with Ac-Kh against Jacobson’s 4h-4d. Jacobson was drawing to a two-outer on a Ks-Kc-Jh flop and was unable to improve his hand when Haugen hit a full house after the board completed with the Qd-Ad.
