Espen Ringstad was the chip leader at the start of day and during Day 1b joked around with the reporters and table mates about how he was a chip millionaire and then a chip billionaire to end things off.

“I am not a billionaire,” said Ringstad with a small smile after he was just eliminated as follows.

Ringstad three-bet jammed the button for less than 10 big blinds and was called by Atli Thrastarson from the cutoff.

Espen Ringstad: 2 2

Atli Thrastarson: 9 7

Ringstad’s ducks failed to win the flip and he was eliminated after Thrastarson improved to a full house on the J 4 9 9 4 runout.

Atli Thrastarson – 1,000,000
