Seri Strikes First

[user38449]

Billy Seri wasted little time getting involved following the break, doubling up through Annette Obrestad in the opening minutes of level 20.

Seri opened the pot with a pot-sized raise to 42,000 and when the action reached Obrestad, she reraised, putting Seri all in. A call was made, and the following showdown ensued:

Seri: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

Obrestad:

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

The board then ran out {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

in favor of Seri, who took down the pot with top two pair, jacks and eights.

After the hand, Obrestad dropped to 540,000 in chips while Seri improved to 90,000.
