Obrestad Chipping Up Early

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Annette Obrestad and two other players saw a flop of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Obrestad fired out a bet of 150. The player on the button tossed out 250 chips and the dealer informed him that that was less than the minimum amount to raise. The player completed his raise and casually said "I wasn't even trying to raise but I guess I will". The third player folded and Obrestad made the call.

The turn came the {Q-Diamonds} and Obrestad checked. Her opponent bet 600 and she made the call. Then {10-Clubs} fell on the turn and the action went check-check. Obrestad turned over {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flopped straight and her opponent mucked his cards saying "Yeah, that's good. I've got three pair".

Obrestad is up to around 11,500 in chips.
