Cochrane Clips Kelopuro, Torbergsen Almost Tops 1,000,000

We’ve yet to catch current chip leader Andreas Torbergsen in action, but just before his table broke we saw him score a knockout to move near the 1,000,000 chip mark.

Just before that hand, Gavin Cochrane took a substantial portion of Sami Kelopuro’s stack. Cochrane rivered a full house and got value on the end to move over 500,000. The final board is shown below.

While Cochran is over a half-million, Torbergsen is playing close to double that amount after sending Amichai Barer to the rail. The short stack got all-in with pocket queens and Torbergsen tried to score the knockout with a suited ace. He did just that, pairing up on the flop and holding through the river.

After the hand, this table broke and there are now only four tables remaining in Event #1.
