Jacobson Builds Lead and Legacy at EPT Vilamoura

September 1st, 2010 Posted in PokerListings.com

Jacobson, who made third at EPT Budapest in 2008, second at WPT Venice in 2009 and fourth in one of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em events at the WSOP this summer, will be looking to add to his $933k in career tournament earnings heading into Day 4 in Portugal Wednesday.

However, Season 1 EPT Grand Final winner Rob Hollink sits dangerously close in a bid to become the first ever two-time EPT main event champion.

UB pro Brandon Cantu led after two days, but busted on Day 3.

Jacobson qualified for the event through a PokerStars satellite.

A total of 384 players entered the €5,300 EPT Vilamoura main event, creating a €1.8 million prize pool and making it the biggest tournament ever held in Portugal.

First pays €467,835.

The tournament will run through Thursday at Casino Solverde on Portugal's Algarve coast.
