Obrestad Gets Things Going

Over on table 292, the action folded around to Gianluca Speranza who raised to 1,000 from the cutoff; Annette Obrestad called from the big blind, so off they went heads-up to a flop of {8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, which they both checked.

Obrestad then led out for 1,600 on the turn of the {Q-Spades}, but that was enough for Speranza to lay down his hand.

We can also report that Sergey Pevzner's seating card was in front of his empty chair as this hand played out. That can only mean that his tournament life has ended early.
