Andreas Hoivold Eliminated in 13th Place (€25,000)

Mar 13, '09

All in with the lovely AK, Storaker tanked and said, "I really want to call!" He then decided to take him on and showed 99.

The board fell 822410 and nines were enough to send him out of the tournament on day 3 in 13th place. He collects €25,000 for his troubles.

I'll Show for a Drink

Feb 19, '09

Coming in on the action after some betting and raising preflop, the board shows: 432.

Andreas Hoivold goes all-in putting Rasmus Nielsen to the test.

Another player at the table says, "You have A-K suited spades?" Hoivold sarcastically replies, "Eh... no."

He then adds, "I'll show you if you call... I'll show you if you fold."

His chips are counted and they total 180,200.

Nielsen mucks his cards and says, "Show me the bluff!"

"It's not a bluff!" cries Hoivold as he stands up and turns to the crowd... "You wanna see? Who's gonna buy me a drink?"

He flips over A3 and is applauded. "I told you it was a good hand!" he says smiling.

Still Too Chicken

Feb 19, '09

With a pot worth 27,000 in the middle of the table and a board of Q4310, Andreas Hoivold bets 14,300 and Markus Lehmann goes into the tank. It seems to be all he has been doing lately.

He takes so long that players have time to leave the table, talk to friends, stretch their legs, and go to the toilet. He then folds.

"Show it!" he demands Hoivold, and then eventually talks him into it. Hoivold shows A9 for a simple ace-high.

Lehmann is seething.

Hoivold Takes on Jacobson

Feb 18, '09

Andreas Hoivold is all-in preflop after claiming to only have looked at one card.

Martin Jacobson has a much nicer stack and so calls flipping over QJ. Hoivold shows the K and then as he takes a look at the other one, he exclaims, "Oh! It's another one!" and reveals the K. The table laughs unsure as to whether believe him or not and the cards are dealt.

55310A appear on the felt and Hoivold doubles up to the 16,000 mark.

Andreas Hoivold Eliminated in 12th Place (€38,694)

Feb 20, '09

On a flop of 658 Andreas Hoivold shoves all-in with 53. Rasmus Nielsen calls him and amazingly flips over 74 for a flopped straight - can this man do no wrong?!

The turn brings the 5 giving Hoivold trips but the K does not improve his hand and Hoivold is out in 12th place, €38,694 richer.
