Petter Northug Climbing

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Petter Northug has been quietly amassing chips in a corner of the Amazon red section and just pushed his stack over the six-figure mark by taking out one of his opponents.

The two got their money in before the flop, Northug with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} against his short-stacked opponent's {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Northug's dominating hand held up on the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board and he offered his opponent a very sportsman-like handshake before stacking up his 113,000 in chips.
