Anders Bjorkheim raised to 160,000 with the 7♣4♣ and Seyed Tabaei defended the big blind with the A♥2♦. On the K♥J♥3♥ flop, Tabaei check-jammed into a bet of 125,000 to take a small bite out of Bjorkheim's stack.
Anders Bjorkheim raised to 160,000 with the 7♣4♣ and Seyed Tabaei defended the big blind with the A♥2♦. On the K♥J♥3♥ flop, Tabaei check-jammed into a bet of 125,000 to take a small bite out of Bjorkheim's stack.
Anders Bjorkheim open-jammed first to act and Andre Mägi as the shortest stack called all-in for 1.3 million out of the big blind.
Andre Mägi: A♦Q♣
Anders Bjorkheim: A♣7♠
The board ran out 9♠6♥3♠7♣8♣ and Bjorkheim came from behind once more to reduce the field to the final three contenders.
Keimo Suominen raised to 160,000 on the button with the 6♥6♣ and Andre Mägi jammed in the big blind with the 5♥5♣. The Finn folded the superior pair and Mägi chipped up some.
Mägi limped the 10♠9♥ next and Anders Bjorkheim raised to 225,000 with J♦3♥, Mägi called. On the 6♣6♦5♠ flop, Mägi checked and Bjorkheim bet 130,000 to win the pot and take Mägi's previous profit.
Anders Bjorkheim limped the 4♠3♣ and Keimo Suominen checked his option with the 7♦6♦ to see the K♣J♦6♣ flop. The chip leader bet 150,000 and Suominen called, then faced another bet of 450,000 on the 2♦ turn.
Suominen had a pair and flush draw but folded as Bjorkheim won another pot.
Anders Bjorkheim raised to 160,000 with the K♥10♦ and Keimo Suominen called with the 9♥9♣ in the next seat. Vadim Guk jammed the big blind with the A♠9♦ for 780,000 and both his opponents called.
The two active players checked to the J♠6♦4♥K♣Q♦ river, on which Bjorkheim bet 450,000 with his top pair. Suominen reluctantly folded and Guk was sent to the payout desk in fifth place for €13,550, while Bjorkheim soared further ahead of the competition with four players remaining.
Andre Mägi pushed all-in from the small blind with the J♣9♥ and Vadim Guk called out of the big blind with the 2♣2♦.
The short stack hustle of Mägi continued on a board of 9♠8♣6♦4♥5♥ and Mägi doubled yet again on this final table.

Anders Bjorkheim made it 120,000 to go with the Q♣J♦ and Seyed Tabaei called with the 7♠7♣ in the cutoff.
On a flop of Q♠6♥3♠ flop, Bjorkheim check-called a bet of 210,000 and did so again for 700,000 on the 2♦ turn. The 8♦ river was checked and Bjorkheim dragged in yet another very healthy pot.
One hand after the previous elimination, Anders Bjorkheim made it 120,000 to go in the hijack. Einar Thorolfsson three-bet to 360,000 with 1.7 million behind and Bjorkheim then pulled the trigger with a four-bet shove.
Thorolfsson was certainly not loving life but he made the call for 2.1 million total to find himself in a decent shape.
Einar Thorolfsson: J♥J♣
Anders Bjorkheim: A♥5♥
The 8♣7♥5♦ flop gave Bjorkheim bottom pair and he made trips with the 5♠ turn. No jack came thereafter but the 8♠ river, as Bjorkheim scored another knockout to cement his lead. Thorolfsson as the last Coolbet qualifier earned €10,300 for his efforts.
