Elvevold Thriving

On the three-way flop :::9s:::8c:::4s, the action was checked to Asbjorn Elvevold in the big blind and he bet 1,500. Thomas Sandvik called on the button and then Christophe van Schependom check-raised to 4,000. Elvevold clicked to 11,500 and Sandvik quickly folded while van Schependom called.

The :::As on the turn saw van Schependom check-call a bet of 10,000 rather quickly and both players then checked the :::2s river. Van Schependom would have been the first to show after the button, but Elvevold had already turned over his :::8d:::8s for a set of eights that turned into an eight-high flush. The Belgian nodded and mucked his cards to give the pot to Elvevold.
