River Annihilates Amot During Final Hands
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A blind-on-blind pot between Johan Espholm and Mads Amot had grown to 148,000 when Espholm made a pot-sized bet on the K♦K♠4♠6♦ turn. Amot then moved all in for not much more, seeing Espholm make a quick call.
Mads Amot: A♥K♥Q♣10♦ 
Johan Espholm: K♣Q♦9♥3♥
Amot had the better kicker with his trips, but the 9♠ rivered Espholm a full house to take down the pot and eliminate his neighbor in the dying minutes of Day 1a.
Meanwhile, Corel Theuma had made a last-minute reentry to become the final player seated today.
