Jan Olav Sjavik is OUT and becomes the 3rd place finisher winning £168,600

Jan raised from the button, Vicki re-raised from the small blind and Jan called.

Flop = T-T-9 rainbow

With about 500k in the pot, Vicki pushed all-in for about 700k.

Jan went into the think tank for a good 5 minutes, before making a stunning call for his tournament life.

Jan = 3-3

Vicki = A-J

Turn = J

River = 8

 ;shitfanhit;Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You deserved better Jan.

Thanks for the updates fellas. Im off too sleep...and boy is London bridge falling down in my dreams tonight.  

  to your Vicky in the  

just signed up, good updates.... enjoying reading them - go Victoria - need more woman in poker doing well...

I know i advocated signing up, but make sure you cheer for Sjavik. 

"Jan is probably one of the most successful Norwegian players behind Thor Hansen. He's made back to back Limit Finals at the WSOP, coming second in one, and is very unlucky not to have a gold bracelet around his wrist. He also won here at the Vic in 2001, netting him over 50k. A very solid player who has a great chance of winning any event he enters. In just two words - 'complee domination'."

How's that?

As if i wrote it myself. 


And refering to the pot about guests: SIGN UP people. Its free.
I signed up a year back and my life has significantly approved.

Snoopy: Allow Sverre to do a similar presentation of Sjavik as the one you just did of the lady.

Go Vicky get it won  

Sorry to break it to you, but havent you noticed that this is the Norwegian year in the EPT??

Bjorn Erik Glenne did it in Barca, and Sjavik is gonna do it in this one.

My complimentes to the updates. Personal touch and very friendly...not to mention super fast and accurate.

Id pay to use this service.

You got Sverre there? Sweet. Hope he'll drop a comment every now and then on Jan's play.

Sjavik takes this one down. He's practically on home court with he's previous results in London.

Edit: Can we get an updated chip count?

Thierry Cazals has moved in now, after becoming over the course of two hours, a short stack.  He's pushed on the button after it folded round to him, and there are two blinds to get past.  Interestingly, although they both fold, big blind Aleksander Strandli exposes one card before the small blind Ash could act.  He is given a rather severe ten minute penalty, and says "It's not like I am going to lose a lot of chips, it's just that it's a stupid rule.  But what can you do?"

A stupid rule?  What if by exposing the card the bb had made the sb realise that he was going to fold. The sb now knowing he is in no danger of being re-raised  decides he can safely call and the buton is knocked out? Would ten minutes seem harsh then?

Of course, I didn't see what happensed and it may well have been harsh in this case.

I just read about this hand in a Norwegian forum. What happened was that Aleksander flipped the card by accident.

I agree that may affect the actions from the smallblind. Question is if accidents should be punished.

Of course accidents should be punished, otherwise every cheaty bastard will cry accident as they go about their low-down cheaty ways. Harsh but fair, no?

Well...i dont agree with what Aleksander said that its a silly rule. However, im not so sure that an obvious mistake should be punished. Every situation should be evaluated. That said i didnt see it myself, so the penalty might be fair.
