Koppegodt Comes Out Barreling, Eliminates Vilhjalmsson
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Andres Vilhjalmsson, under the gun, and Pal Koppegodt on the button had already built a 3,600 pot when they reached the 4♦A♣7♦ flop. Vilhjalmsson checked to Koppegodt, who fired a bet of 800.
Vilhjalmsson called to the Q♦ turn, where Koppegodt sized up to 3,000. Vilhjalmsson wanted to see a river and check-called, and the Q♥ completed the board as a result.
Vilhjalmsson checked again, but Koppegodt kept pushing chips into the pot. He bet 7,500, enough to fold Vilhjalmsson out and earn the pot without showdown.
Not much later, Vilhjalmsson was seen walking away from the table. He had been eliminated, and his chips were added to Koppegodt's stack.
