Andreas Hoivold picks up another pot

[user22113]

Hoivold on the shortstack opens the pot for 75,000 in second position. It's folded to Christiano Blanco in the big blind who calls.

Flop, {7-Spades}

Blanco checks, 85,000 from Hoivold which takes down the pot.

The Norwegian came back from the break as the shortstack but has won 4 of the first 6 pots. He is the only player at the table smiling and chatting and looks very much at home in front of the cameras.

Giving Lindberg 15 outs for the win, but the

, and river {3-Hearts}
