Entries: 194/2045
Lise Kristiansen, sitting with a stack of 175,000, made an opening raise to 36,000. Action folded to Stef Koning on the button, who came over the top with a re-raise, setting up a big clash. The chips went in the middle, and the cards were revealed:
- Lise Kristiansen: A♥Q♥
- Stef Koning: A♦A♣
It was a tough spot for Lise, facing the dominating pocket aces. The flop came down 4♣4♦6♣, offering little help. Hopes for a flush draw were dashed and the turn brought the 8♣, the K♦ on the river sealed the deal for Koning.
Kristiansen exits after a valiant run, but this time she couldn’t break the aces. Koning scoops the pot and adds to his stack.
Stef Koning – 540,000
Lise Kristiansen – 0
