Sparks Are Gonna Fly

Andreas Hoivold

There could be fireworks approaching on Table 310 as Andreas Hoivold finds himself seated next door to the ever-active William Thorson.

Like his fellow Scandinavian, Hoivold has an impressive record with over $1.5 million in tournament winnings including a Poker Million final, multiple GUKPT finals, and an EPT title in his cabinet after winning Dortmund in 2007 for €672,000. He is also one of the few European pros to have made an appearance on celebrated cash game show High Stakes Poker.

With just 12,000 in chips, he's currently struggling, but if he can increase his stack to something more playable, we could see some intriguing encounters between the two Scandinavians. My prediction? Sparks are gonna fly.
