No More Aberg

Rikard Aberg walked into the media room. He did that more than once already today, as he's a journalist combining work and play here in Copenhagen, but none of the other times had he such a sad face.

We knew soon enough what was going on; Aberg had been eliminated.

Rikard told us he had shoved his remaining 15,000 in with . Action folded to the big blind who said he would probably fold. "Really nice guy" said Aberg, but the man was not so nice that he would fold .

With ace jack suited up against ace king, Aberg had some work to do. The king high flop was about as bad as they could come. Besides a back door flush and straight draw, not much hope for the Swedish poker and reporting veteran.

Blanks on turn and river made for Aberg to get up from the table and leave. Aberg just missed making Day 2 by one level.
