Tobias Leknes: XxXx/2x8xAxKx/Xx
Shane Littlefield: XxXx/2x5x6x9x/Xx - folded on seventh street

Heads-up on fourth street, Tobias Leknes called bets from Shane Littlefield on fourth street through sixth street, but then raised facing a bet from Littlefield on seventh street.

Littlefiled, clearly perturbed by the raise, sat back in his seat and counted out a call. He then contemplated his decision for several minutes before saying, "Oh my God," and laying his hand down.

Leknes collected the pot without showing and Littlefield was left with just 100,000 following the hand.
