Borge Sandsgaard: 
An eight was the first visible card as the dealer spread a flop of 
, but an ace was buried below it to keep Sandsgaard ahead in the hand. He stayed there the rest of the way, watching the turn 
and river 
complete the runout without much concern to earn him the pot.
Hand #2:

Pal Koppegodt: 
Borge Sandsgaard:

behind it to leave his hand second best, becoming Sandsgaard's second casualty in as many hands.
