WSOP: How many years have you played the Main Event?
Jacobson: This was my seventh, I think.
WSOP: What is your daily life is like when you’re not at the World Series?
Jacobson: Mostly traveling the European Circuit.
WSOP: Any non-poker plans between now and November?
Jacobson: No.
WSOP: How was the pressure of this versus any other tournament you’ve ever experienced?
Jacobson: There’s a lot of pressure, but I’m trying to not fully feel all of my feelings. I tried to not get emotional about it.
WSOP: Are you feeling emotional right now?
Jacobson: Not really, I feel kind of calm, I think I’m, I still haven’t realized what happened.
WSOP: What would you do if you were to win $10 million dollars?
Jacobson: I don’t know, I’ll figure something out
WSOP: Do you think you’re going to invest a lot of it back into poker?
Jacobson: Yeah, I mean, if there’s another One Drop next year.
WSOP: What was your thought process in regard to ICM implications and stuff going into this? I mean, it must be going through your head all the time.
Jacobson: The final table bubble was huge, so to make it to the November 9 means a lot. It’s almost comparable to, like, a satellite. Now, I lost a few chips so I’m like seventh or eighth in chips coming in.
WSOP: Are you going to do any preparation for November? Will you get coaching?
Jacobson: I’m definitely going to do some preparation. I don’ t know about coaching, but I’m definitely going to discuss a lot with my friends.
WSOP: Are there any specific people you’re going to go to discuss hands with?
Jacobson: Maybe, a few of my friends that made a deep run here.
