Stokkan bests Grodal in Battle of Norwegians
Level 18
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Short stack Erlend Grodal pushed for around 110,000 out of the small blind on one of the outer tables and Preben Stokkan called out of the big blind.

The 
was a sweat as Stokkan picked up an open-ended straight draw, and the 
turn indeed improved his hand. A split pot was still possible, but Grodal bricked off with the 
river to exit in 20th place £3,300. Grodal took it in good spirit, though and took a quick video selfie with Stokkan before collecting his payout.
