Seri Doubles; Gill Crippled

Oliver Gill opened the pot with a pot-sized raise from under-the-gun and Billy Seri repotted from the button, putting himself all in. Gill made the call and the cards were revealed:

Gill: {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Seri: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

"Let's see some low cards," said Gill.

"How does he get that (aces and queens)?" Annette Obrestad asked.

The ensuing board ran out {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} giving Seri top set, knocking Gill down to 12,000 in chips. Seri improved to 182,000 in the win.

Obrestad Pwning

Annette Obrestad has just dropped a bomb on the final table, winning a monster pot against Oliver Gill to move to 600,000 in chips. Here's how the hand went down:

Action folded around the table to Obrestad in the small blind and she completed the bet. Gill checked his option in the big and the flop came down {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

Obrestad quickly checked to Gill and without looking at the flop, Gill fired a 15,000 bet. Obrestad smiled and check-raised to 40,000. Gill then looked at the flop and made the call.

The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and Obrestad led out with a 52,000 bet which was snap-called by Gill.

On the river -- {J-Clubs} -- Obrestad fired a massive 130,000 bet and Gill made the call, only to see Obrestad turn over {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{A-Diamonds} for nines full. Gill mucked his cards and was left with 155,000 in chips after the hand.

Con Angelakis Eliminated in 5th Place ($11,200)

Moments ago, Oliver Gill and Con Angelakis butted heads again, though this time around, Angelakis didn't make it out with chips.

Gill opened the pot with a raise to 21,000 from early position and Angelakis made the call from the button.

The flop came down {4-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Gill fired a 25,000 continuation bet that was called by Angelakis.

The {4-Hearts} fell on 4th Street and Gill quickly bet the pot, putting Angelakis to a decision for all of his chips. Con tanked for quite some time, and the other players at the table got restless.

"What do you have and I'll tell you what to do," said Gill.

"Tens full," replied Angelakis.

"Then you should probably call," said Gill.

"Please make a decision before I have to call the clock," injected Annette Obrestad.

Billy Seri came to Angelakis' defense.

"Take your time, mate. I'm starving," he said, referring to the upcoming dinner break.

Angelakis eventually made the call and tabled {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Gill then revealed {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades} for trips with a flush draw.

Angelakis would need a non-spade ace or a five to stay alive, but the river delivered the {8-Spades} giving Gill a flush and Angelakis joined the rail in 5th place.

Gill stacked up 360,000 in chips after the hand.
