Granstad with a Grand Stack
In a private battle of the Norwegians on the Table of Death, Andreas Hoivold suffered a major setback when losing 30k plus to Henning Granstad. I have no news of the suits involved but Hoivold raised with 98 suited, called by Granstad. The flop of 972 looked decent for Hoivold. Granstad, sitting there with a pair of 2's, could only agree on the attraction of the flop. A raise, re-raise and re-re-raise later, all the chips were in and Granstad doubled through.
Hoivold was not to be deterred. In the last hand before the final level, another EPT winner, Mads Andersen of Denmark, locked horns with Hoivold in a tentative battle until the board showed a raggy mess of cards. Andersen had been calling Hoivold's small bets and then felt compelled to call a 6,500 bet on the end. Hoivold showed 75 offsuit which fitted well with the 75 on the flop. Andersen mucked with a shake of the head.
Poor Simon Young is camped on this table with all these aggressive Scandinavians and is hanging tight with 15k.
