Action was picked up during a hand of Stud Hi-Lo with Kjetil Flaaten showing A 8 A against Pasi Olavi Trollhjärta's 8 5 7 . Facing a 30,000 bet from Flaaten, Trollhjärta called. He then got the 7 and Flaaten the 9 . Flaaten fired again and Trollhjärta pulled Flaaten all in for the rest, he called.
Trollhjärta had a flush with Q 6 in the hole, and Flaaten had two pair with 9 4 in the hole. He couldn't improve and Trollhjärta scooped the high-only pot to take play to the final table, and he heads into the final table in a commanding position atop the counts.
