Alex just busted per pokerwire. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[Ulysses]

Alex Jacob raised pre-flop to 38k and Samir Shaktoor pushed in. Jacob called and the players turned up:

Alex Jacob [Q♠][Q♥]
Samir Shaktoor [A♣][K♠]

The board came [9♣][5♦][2♦][K♣][J♥] giving Shakhtoor a better pair on the turn to win the pot eliminating Alex Jacob in 27th place with $27,600.

(QQ v. AK - K on turn)

[Jason Strasser]

Man, first time all his chips were in and he was called in the tournament. He ran pretty bad when he needed to run well, both when he was behind in pots and when he was ahead, way ahead.

Congrats to Alex on his strong finish. I will be not at all suprised to see him at a WPT final table in the near future.

Hes TheBeat on most sites, pretty "know" online player. He made the final table in season one, in this tournament I think. He got owned badly by Phil Ivey as well.

What's his deal? For some reason I often see him in the Stars micros....I've spent several hours at the same tables with him in $2+0.20s, $3+0.30, etc...
