and it's checked to Kongsgaard who bets 2,050. The player in midposition flat-calls before the small blind now raises to 6,650. Kongsgaard folds quickly, as does the other player, the Dane is left with around 8,000.

Although initial aggressor Roux passed, Norinder was less hospitable, pushing all in for 10,000 more. To his surprise, his opponent took thirty seconds to call with
, only to find himself dominated by the Swede's 
. An eightless board and Norinder was left to embrace the pot with the most welcoming of arms.
flop, Mark Friedman raised an opponent's leading bet of 600 to 1,200 before firing out 1,600 on the 
turn. His opponent gave up, however, on the river when Friedman led for 2,200.Freidman now on 24,500. Neighbour Johannes Strassmann, camera crew in tow, is also running well with 21,000.
