Kulju Doubles on the Bubble
Stein Pedersen raised from under the gun and was called by Birgir Ellingsen as well as Mario Jürgens in the big blind. The K♣7♠6♦ flop was checked to Ellingsen and he bet 18,000. Jürgens check-raised to 48,000 only for Pedersen to push all-in.
Ellingsen folded and Jürgens also let go, flashing his A♦K♠ for top pair top kicker. Pedersen exposed his A♣A♦ and Ellingsen showed pocket queens!
During the same hand on table 14, Kalle Kulju raised to 12,000 and Karl Persson three-bet to 24,000 for Kulju to call.
Persson continued on the 9♠8♠2♣ flop to get called, then jammed the 3♠ turn. Kulju called all-in for 79,000 and the showdown unfolded when all other hands had finished.
Kalle Kulju: A♦A♣ 
Karl Persson: J♥J♠
Persson needed a jack or spades but the 6♥ river ensured the double of Kulju.
