Vic-Tore

Back in the day, and before the nosebleed stakes were a common feature of the online world, Norwegian Tore Lagerborg was regarded as one of Europe's highest stakes players, along with fellow Scandinavians such as Johnny Lodden, Patrik Antonius and Erik Sagstrom. But whilst others have excelled and become minor celebrities of the virtual felt, Lagerborg fell of the radar somewhat and went from being a hot topic to someone who was rarely discussed.

However, Lagerborg is back here today, and looking to make an impact on the live felt at this year's Main Event. In fact, just moments ago, he doubled through against Sammy Farha, the cameras closing in as Farha revealed {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} to Lagerborg's {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The {4-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Clubs} flop was pretty convincing, and although the {J-Diamonds} turn created outs, no such misfortune arrived on the {5-Diamonds} river and Lagerborg survived to fight another day.

As a result, Largerborg is back up to 175,000 and still in with a shout of making a name for himself all over again.
