Watch the Martin Jacobson Main Event documentary

You can now see how the 'greatest comeback of all time' in the Main Event happened behind-the-scenes.

Reigning WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson has been one of the shyer World Champions in his first year as poker's biggest ambassador. 

That is all set to change now as Cinebloc have just released the full 10 for 10 Documentary, which followed him from making the November Nine all the way to the championship. 

Given that he started the final table 8th in chips, and went down to seven big blinds, his story is obviously a fascinating one, as his victory is called by many as the greatest comeback ever in the Main Event.

The documentary also features Mark Radoja, Sam Chartier, Jason Koon, Jorryt Van Hoof, Felix Stephensen, Mark Newhouse, Andoni Larrabe, Dan Sindelar, William Pappaconstantinou, Will Tonking, Bruno Politiano and more.

This is a great behind-the-scenes glimpse into what it's like to be a November Niner, as we see Jacobson and his poker friends review the ESPN footage of the Main Event before the final table, as well as playing simulated versions of it in their hotel room. 

It also showcases his attention to fitness and nutrition, which will no doubt be a good reminder to this year's November Nine about the physical side of grueling live tournaments. 

How would you prepare for the November Nine? Let us know in the comments.
