We reported earlier in the day that husband and wife Erick Lindgren and Erica Schoenberg started play today sitting at the same table. That table was broken up quite awhile ago, but the poker gods apparently have a sense of humor.
When Erica's new table got broken up her next random table draw put her smack dab next to her husband.
Phil Hellmuth walked over to their table and pointed at the two of them saying, "Really?" to which Lindgren replied, "Second time today!"
Players are now on their last 15 minute break of the day.

Action folded around to Annette Obrestad in the small blind and she completed. Ville Mattila was in the big blind and raised to 1,200. Obrestad called.
The flop came down 
, Obrestad checked and Mattila bet the pot worth 2,400. Obrestad immediately put in her stack which was a valid raise for less than the pot. She just barely had Mattila covered and he was forced to call as he was pot committed to his hand.
Obrestad: 
Mattila:
Mattila had an inside straight-draw that was no good because a Four would give Obrestad a better straight. However, his Ace-high was good enough to be in the lead as he had to avoid a Nine, Eight, Seven or Four as well as running hearts to double up. The turn bricked off with the 
as did the river with the 
and he now has 14,000. Obrestad is crippled with under 500.
