Obrestad's Shove Does The Job

We found the player under the gun put out a raise preflop to 2,500. Brian Rast called from the button and the small blind called as well. Annette Obrestad peeked at her cards and then moved her entire stack to the middle for a raise to 29,600.

Just like that three hands shot quickly into the muck and Obrestad was able to take down the pot.

"Yeah! It worked!" exclaimed Obrestad as she stacked her newly attained chips.

Lex Veldhuis - Eliminated
Lex Veldhuis - Eliminated

Alex Hering opened with a raise to 3,200 and Lex Velduis moved all in from the button. The other two players at the table folded and Hering snap called, tabling {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} which was dominating Veldhuis' {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Veldhuis' tournament life came to an end. Hering, on the other hand, is now sitting on 130,000 in chips.

Turner KOs Adeniya

We just saw Martins Adeniya standing up from his table and Jon Turner claiming what was the rest of his stack. Turner was kind enough to share the details of the hand with us.

Adeniya opened and Turner three-bet, leading to an all in. Adeniya held {A-} {10-} and Turner held {A-} {J-}. The board ran {K-} {5-} {6-} {8-} {Q-} and Adeniya's day was done.
