Jacobson played at Event #65 $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em where he managed to defeat all 6,683 entries willing to win the big cash and claimed the throne. Due to the considerable interest towards the poker event, the total prize pool swelled to the impressive figure of $62,820,200. This, of course, maid the payouts even more appealing to everyone willing to participate in the poker event and the Swedish poker pro laid his hands on the impressive first-place prize amounting to $10,000,000.
During his performance at the poker tournament, he made his way from a short stack to a leading position on the temporary leader board, which then led him to the throne. Before that, his total live earning amounted to $4 million and this seriously boosted his position on various leader boards in the poker world. His most recent winning from a live poker event came at the partypoker Caribbean Poker Party which took place in Punta Cana. There he participated in the $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em #4 MILLIONS Main Event and made it to the 92nd position on the leader board. This accomplishment brought him a payout amounting to $10,000.
