Iversen vs. Svendsen

We join the action heads up in what would become another big pot. The flop showed up {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}, and Katja Svendsen led out with a bet of 10,000. Albert Iversen was her opponent, and he made a raise to 26,500. Svendsen re-popped it, putting 60,000 of her 65,000-chip stack into the pot. Iversen made her commit the rest, and she called all in.

Showdown
Svendsen: {A-Spades} {4-Spades}
Iversen: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Iversen was ahead with middle set, and Svendsen was looking for a spade to stay alive. The turn and river were both red though ({8-Diamonds} and {8-Hearts}), and Iversen snagged the pot with his jacks full of eights. He's sent Katja Svendsen to the payout desk, vaulting all the way up to 230,000.
