Defending champ Tollefsen busted on one card flush

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Henrik Tollefsen

Reigning Main Event titlist Henrik Tollefsen of Norway had a rather unceremonious exit from the proceedings when in an all-in preflop situation against Japan's Koki Furusawa both gentlemen tabled Big Slick; Tollefsen holding A♣ K♦ while his Japanese opponent had A♥ K♣ .

In what looked to be headed to an apparent chop, the first three community cards cast a shadow of doubt when it came J♣ 6♥ 2♥. Furusawa's A♥ gained more momentum when the turn card was the Q♥.

Lightning stuck on the river when the 5♥ arrived and dashed yet another effort of the Norwegian to advance to Day 2.

Tollefsen will still have opportunities when Day 1C and Day 1D happen tomorrow,

After suffering a few early hits to his stack, defending Main Event champion Henrik Tollefson of Norway takes on Japan's Shiina Tsubasa as the former raises from UTG 1,200 and gets called by the Norwegian.

The flop of K♠ 3♦ 5♣ is greeted with a bet from Tsubasa for 2,500. Tollefson calls.

Tollefson shows K♣ T♣ for top pair on the flop while Tsubasa has A♣ J♦ for second pair on the turn.

The river is the 6♣ and Tollefson doubles through to stay in contention for his title defense.
