No More Bjorin

Razz

We just had to say goodbye to one of the most well respected and well rounded poker players left in the tournament, Chris Bjorin.

The Swedish long time pro already had a second place finish in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud hi/lo event earlier this series for $124,838, and his total live tournament earnings exceed $5.2 million. Just to point out how consistent Bjorin has been, since 1991 he's only had three years in which he cashed for less than $100,000. But now he's gone, and this is how it went down.

Before fourth street Bjorin got his final 6,900 chips into the pot against Omar Mehmood, who was also in dire need of a double up. Their hands ran out like this.

Chris Bjorin{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts} / {7-Diamonds}
Omar Mehmood{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Spades} / {8-Clubs}

Bjorin came up short and will add another $4,763 to his impressive list of results.
