The cards in the middle were spread 
and Obrestad had 
in front of her. Unfortunately for the Norwegian that was no good against her opponent’s 
.
Obrestad leaves us halfway through the final level of the day.

Dan Shak has hit the rail some time ago. His former table mate Felix Stephensen told us that Shak was down to just five big blinds when he shoved all in over a raise from the player in seat two. A player behind him isolated with jacks and beat Shak's ace-four to send the rounded poker aficionado packing.

Jack Salter has seen his stack dwindle over the last level but he has just taken down a small pot against Erik Seidel to stem the bleeding.
Preflop action folded around to Seidel on the button who opened for 1,400 and Salter elected to defend his big blind and made the call.
The flop came down 
with both players checking it through to the 
turn and the river before Salter led out for 1,700. Seidel mulled it over before tossing in the call, subsequently mucking when Salter flipped over 
to take down the pot and climb to 27,500 while Seidel dropped to 86,000.

With around 10,000 already in the pot and the board showing 
Pascal Pflock checked from the big blind before Luke Stanford splashed out 15,000. The bet was matched before both players watched the 
complete the board.
Pflock checked once more only to see Stanford reach for his chips and slide out all his 5,000-chips totaling 60,000. The bet had Pflock covered, as he contemplated over his tournament life, with 37,000 behind.
Minutes passed before Pflock let out a sigh and slid in some chips signaling a call.
"You got it," said Stanford. "King-high," he added, before mucking his hand.
Pflock's was then tabled giving him the winning hand with a pair of aces.

Burns: 
Cutoff: 
It was a fair fight but the pocket nines would hold as the board ran out 
. After a tap of the table the man with big slick departed and Burns added more to his already healthy stack.

On a board of
