Sonsteby Sees Out Gaup as Bodvarsson Folds Monster
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Erik Sonsteby made it 2,500 under the gun. Haukur Bodvarsson tossed in a call from middle position, after which Lemet Gaup moved all in for 18,700 on the button.
Sonsteby rejammed for 72,900 once it folded back to him, which put Bodvarsson into the tank. "I'm such a pussy," he eventually concluded as he folded what he claimed were queens.
Lemet Gaup: A♦J♦ 
Erik Sonsteby: A♠K♠
Sonsteby's kicker awarded him the pot on the 10♦3♠4♠9♣2♦ board, meaning Bodvarsson would have scooped a monster pot had he made the call. Meanwhile, Gaup was eliminated at the tail end of Day 1b.
