Koppegodt Escapes Elimination, Eriksson Less Lucky
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pekka Ikonen opened to 60,000 on the button. Pal Koppegodt then shoved all in for 420,000 in the small blind, and Ikonen snap-called.
Pal Koppegodt: A♥9♣
Pekka Ikonen: A♠K♦
Koppegodt stood up as the 7♥Q♠8♣ flop brought him no help. The 9♥ turn paired him up, however, and he retook his seat as the 2♣ river prevented any harm.
Shortly before Conny Eriksson became the first elimination of the final three tables.
