En Garde! Vegard Nygaard

The winner of the Nordic Promo Vegard Nygaard (finalists in this promotion won a trip to Monte Carlo, and Nygaard picked up a Pokerstars Passport to certain events this year) is building his stack apace - already up to 61k. A good chunk came courtesy of the lady on his left - he'd grown a pot of around 8k with her out of position, getting to the turn with the board {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Nygaard checked at this point, she bet 12k (just under half her remaining chips) and Nygaard calmly pushed in enough chips to cover her whole stack. Deep into the Consideration Timebank, and she really didn't look like folding was fun when she finally did it. He showed her {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for the flopped set which appeared to provide some soothing, but she'd shortish now on 14k, while he's up amongst the Level 4 chip leaders.
