Anthony Kennedy was in the small blind and moved all in. Espen Jorstad called off for his stack and the remaining players folded.
Jorstad held 
but failed to overcome the 
of Kennedy and he was eliminated.
"Very sad, we are out of the tournament," he told his Instagram followers. "I had a lot but I then played a big squeeze spot with

"Gonna come back tomorrow and try for Day 1b."
