Lund Eliminated by Klingenberg

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Picking up the action on the J♥9♠6♠8♠ turn, Monica Klingenberg check-raised from 9,000 to 24,000. Asgeir Lund on the button pushed all-in and was snap-called.

Klingenberg instantly said she had a flush and then showed her A♠5♠, while Lund had exactly one out with the Q♥10♠. He needed the seven of spades for a straight flush but the miracle never came with the A♦ river.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a completed board of 10♥7♣2♥J♥2♦ with some 33,000 in the middle, Ville-Matti Lintula had checked and was then deep in the tank after Frank Wikne moved all-in. Rasmus Sihvonen then called the clock and Lintula called with five seconds remaining.

"Good call," Sihvonen instantly said and was right, as Lintula had the K♥10♣ and doubled for 14,100 versus Wikne's A♦K♣. "Good call and good bluff," Sihvonen declared once more.

Kristine Ingebrigtsen checked out of the blinds on the 8♦4♦3♦4♥ turn and then called a bet worth 8,000 by Johnny Kristiansen with the words "I might win this one". The 2♣ river was checked and Kristiansen tabled the K♥K♣. Ingebrigtsen had outflopped that as she revealed 8♥8♣ for eights full before raking in the pot.
