Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

Espen Jorstad raised to 3,500,000 in the small blind with the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Michael Duek defended with the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Jorstad bet 1,500,000 on the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop, Duek called, and the {8-Diamonds} turn was checked to the {a-Diamonds} river. Jorstad bet 8,000,000 and Duek called fairly quickly.

Jorstad tabled his ace-queen, and the Norwegian player claimed the pot to extend his lead and become the first player over the 100 million chip mark.
