Action folded to "labelfree" on the button who opened for 2,580 and only Darren "darrenelias" Elias made the call from the big blind.
The flop came and Elias check-called a bet of 2,580 from "labelfree". On the turn Elias checked again and "labelfree" sized to 6,280, which was enough to fold out Elias and take down the pot.
Michael "MMenz08816" Menzer opened to 1,200 from the hijack and Raman "Acrogum" Afanasenka next to act three-bet to 3,600. It folded to Jonathan "Art.Vandelay" Dokler in the small blind who moved all in for 16,345 total and Farah "bowlofchili" Galfond called in the big blind for her last 6,849. Both Menzer and Afanasenka got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Farah "bowlofchili" Galfond:
Jonathan "Art.Vandelay" Dokler:
The board ran out and the kings of Dokler held up to send Galfond to the rail.
Before he was Norway's first World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion, Espen Uhlen Jorstad was a gamer and part-time poker player who cared more about playing video games and partying than he did chasing his dreams and aspirations.
Now a world poker champion, the 34-year-old says he wants to be a good ambassador for the game, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and show his country the positive aspects of professional poker.
PokerNews'Jesse Fullen recently interviewed the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion one-on-one in an intimate conversation that can be heard on the PokerNews podcast.
Drawing on that interview, this two-part series will look at Jorstad's life before and after the $10 million score that made him a household name and catapulted him to the top of Norway's all-time money list according to The Hendon Mob.
