Kristian Has High Security Aksnes

To win a tournament, you're invariably going to have to get lucky, but it appears Kristian Aksnes has some leftover luck from last year which he just cashed in.

The short-stacked Norwegian pushed for his last few chips with 4♣ 3♣ but found Arnoldas Merkelis moving all-in behind holding J♠ J♥

It looked all over for last year's champion but the board came out 7♣ 6♠ 5♦ 8♠ Q♣ - Aksnes flopped a straight to survive. He's still a short stack, though not quite as short...
