Pora Hits a Flush to Double Through Oye; Jorstad Busts
Espen Oye had opened from early position and got a call from Dumitru Pora in the big blind to see a flop of 5♥4♥5♠, where Pora checked. Oye then fired out 40,000, only to be met with a check-raise to 110,000 from Pora. Oye used some extra time before he shoved, and Pora quickly called for his stack of 440,000.
Dumitru Pora: K♥7♥ 
Espen Oye: 9♦9♥
Pora had picked up a flush draw and just ran with it, which left him needing a king or a heart to stay alive. It was a case of 'instant service' for Pora as the 2♥ turn gave him a flush. The job wasn't done though as Oye still had outs to a full house, but the A♠ was no use, earning Pora a double-up.
Elsewhere, Oye's namesake and WSOP Main Event champion Espen Jorstad just walked past the PokerNews media desk and his seat has been occupied by somebody else, meaning he has busted.
