Cracksnes!

Kristian Aksnes just lost a monster pot to Flemming Berg as the last level ended. An agitated Berg was spotted reaching over to spread the pot in the middle of the table as he made faces at the 4♦ J♠ 8♣ 2♦ board. That's a definite no-no etiquette-wise, touching the pot, by the way. But generally, despite this being a first live event for a lot of players, there haven't been many mistakes or arguments over this kind of thing at all - it's been a very well-mannered poker tournament indeed.

Anyway, Berg bet, and then faced a huge raise - all in - from Aksnes. Even more agitated, Berg muttered, "F*%$! I have to call," and did so, tabling K♠ K♥. He didn't worry for long, though, as Aksnes showed A♦ J♦, and didn't hit another pair/Jack or diamond to outdraw him.

A huge double to 160k for Berg, while Aksnes is down to just 65k.
