Kristiansen Doubles Through Väistö
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Johnny Kristiansen was on the verge of elimination with a short stack when he was at risk with 5♦5♣. Joni Väistö had him dominated with J♠J♣ but the 9♣5♠2♣Q♣K♥ board gave the Norwegian new life with a set of fives, which Kristine Ingebrigtsten celebrated vividly for her countryman.
