Young and Norwegian are two words that seem to crop up a lot in European poker, especially on final tables, and hotshot Oyvind Riisem is no different. In fact, looking at his fellow Scandinavians, there isn��t too much that separates them: annoyingly good looking, bright blonde hair and an incredibly fearless attitude to the game with the phrase ��flat calling�� an unfavourable part of their vocabulary.
If anyone from the home nation were to stand a chance against our Scandinavian friends, it was Karl Mahrenholz, but he was seen off in rather fortunate style by Oyviind, the 22-year old pro from Bergen turning 2 pair against Karl��s flopped top pair with bigger kicker to eliminate the gangly Brit in 15th place.
A genuine threat at this final table, and perhaps even a dark horse of sorts, Oyviind Riisen will be a familiar name in future WSOPE events, Betfair allegedly offering all their online qualifiers who make the final table free entry for the next three years.
