Bjorkheim Reaches Six Figures; Einarsson Eliminated
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Anders Bjorkheim opened to 2,300 in the hijack. Einar Einarsson was in the cutoff and three-bet to 6,000, which Bjorkheim called.
After the 4♥8♣9♣ flop had been checked by both, Bjorkheim bet 5,500 on the 7♦ turn. Einarsson called after some thought, after which the 2♠ river was checked to showdown.
Einarsson tabled 5♠5♥ for a pair, and it won him the pot as Einarsson mucked. One hand later, Einarsson was eliminated from Day 1b.
