Jorstad Hands Neagoe a Double, Promises One Percent
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Espen Jorstad, coming off his fourth-place finish in the Super High Roller earlier today, had just taken his seat at the same table as Joao Leao, Rayan Chamas, and Hannes Jeschka. He then opened to 2,000 in the hijack, and Darius Neagoe greeted him by moving all in for 9,800 in the cutoff. Jorstad quickly called.
Darius Neagoe: A♠J♦ 
Espen Jorstad: 6♣6♦
Neagoe hit his ace on the A♦Q♠7♣ flop to take the lead, then improved to trips as the board ran out 8♥A♥ to secure the double up.
After the hand, Jorstad was admiring the bronze chess piece that Neagoe was using as a card protector. "If it works, you can use it in the next high roller," Neagoe told him.
"One percent freeroll for my friend," Jorstad replied.
