Double-Knockout for Weinman; Jorstad Also Eliminated

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Espen Jorstad

The board was all but rushed away as Daniel Weinman raked in the pot with the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, having beaten the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} of Brian Luo and the {a-}{4-} of Jonathan Pastore to leap up on the leaderboard.

On a king-high board, Weinman rivered a straight to score the double knockout.

One table over, the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion Espen Jorstad was all-in for the last 5,500 from under the gun. Clement Cure then pushed all-in for 27,000 and Alex Kulev jammed in the cutoff, all other players folded.

Espen Jorstad: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Clement Cure: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Alex Kulev: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Jorstad was eliminated while Cure doubled through Kulev. With the Irishman being left on a short stack as a result, those last few chips vanished shortly after as the next high-profile casualty on Day 2 ensued.
