Stordal Doubles in Classic Flip
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Vegard Haarberg raised to 2,200 in early position, which Terje Stordal three-bet to 5,500 in the hijack. It folded to Verneri Hakkinen in the big blind, who moved all in for about 45,000.
Haarberg said goodbye to his cards after some thought, after which Stordal sighed as he called off his stack of 21,600.
Terje Stordal: Q♠Q♣ 
Verneri Hakkinen: A♣K♥
The 3♥8♥5♣4♦ turn brought Hakkinen some extra outs, but the 4♠ river was of no help to him. Stordal doubled up, virtually switching stacks with his opponent.
