. The board ran safe for him, coming {3-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

, and he doubled up to 62,000.

On the next hand though, he would take those newly attained chips and give them away to someone else. On a flop of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

, Mikael Olsson bet out, and Haag again moved all in. Olsson instantly called for his own tournament life and showed {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

for top set. Haag was trying to run down his straight draw with {K-Spades}
