Double up or go home. As expected, on the first hand of the final table, Thor Hansen moved all in for his last 40K. He paired his door card on 4th street and was ahead on fifth and sixth street. On seventh street he turned up two pair, 7s and 5s, but that was not good enough to beat John Hanson's bigger two pair.
Thor Hansen, the Godfather of Norwegian poker, headed to the rail under a loud applause. We have lost our first player of the final table. Down to seven.
