Myhre Comes Roaring Back

It's been a frustrating afternoon for the player who was the chip leader at the start of the day, Kristoffer Myhre. His stack has ever so slowly dwindled away. But after a recent elimination Myhre has fresh life.

We don't know what the first raise and re-raise were preflop. We do know that Myhre put in the first raise, and then the third raise to 71,000, a raise that covered his opponent. His opponent tanked for a while and then called.

Myhre: {A-Hearts}

Opponent:

"Queen-jack?" said another player at the table. "Wow!"

The flop brought two hearts, {7-Diamonds}

, taking away one of Myhre's opponent's outs. He was eliminated from the tournament after running clubs, {K-Clubs}

and

.

"Nice hand," he told Myhre. "I really thought you'd do that with any two cards."

After he departed the table, Theo Tran gave his own analysis.

"He out-thought himself. Even if [Myhre] is making a move, he's still behind king-four. Queen-jack? Even ElkY folds that."

"I fold, I fold," Bertrand 'Elky' Grospellier agreed.

Myrhe is up to 240,000.
