Kjaestad Doubles Through

With two callers before him, Stephan Kjaestad opted to raise it up to 2,700 with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Both limpers called. On the {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop we were treated to a genuine fireworks display as the first limper check-raised all in with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Kjaestad made the inevitable call, and a {Q-Spades} turn and {A-Diamonds} river later he scooped the pot, albeit after having to convince the dealer that it wasn't a chop.

He was still stacking his chips at the time, but the Norwegian must have in excess of 60,000 as a result of that encounter.
