Set is Good for Mayer, Deeb Takes a Seat
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
With around 16,000 in the middle and the board reading 
, the action was on William Jacobson in early position. Jacobson bet 8,300 and was called by Szabolcs Mayer in the cutoff. The big blind folded and the two players went heads-up to the 
on the river.
Jacobson checked this time and Mayer tossed in a bet of 12,000. Jacobson gave it some thought and decided to call. Mayer turned over 
for a set of fives and Jacobson slid his cards to the muck.
The current WSOP Player of the Year leader, Shaun Deeb, also just took his seat at the table with a fresh stack of 40,000 chips.
