Level 23 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

One hand after the previous elimination, Anders Bjorkheim made it 120,000 to go in the hijack. Einar Thorolfsson three-bet to 360,000 with 1.7 million behind and Bjorkheim then pulled the trigger with a four-bet shove.

Thorolfsson was certainly not loving life but he made the call for 2.1 million total to find himself in a decent shape.

Einar Thorolfsson: J♥J♣ All in
Anders Bjorkheim: A♥5♥

The 8♣7♥5♦ flop gave Bjorkheim bottom pair and he made trips with the 5♠ turn. No jack came thereafter but the 8♠ river, as Bjorkheim scored another knockout to cement his lead. Thorolfsson as the last Coolbet qualifier earned €10,300 for his efforts.
