Obrestad Building a Stack

[user140344]

Neil Channing and Annette Obrestad may be to most active players in Studio 3 at the moment, it seems like they're involved in every pot.

In this hand, Channing made it 1,025 preflop and was called by an unknown opponent before Obrestad bumped it up to 3,625. Channing got out of the way and Obrestad was called by the remaining player.

The flop brought the {a-Spades}

and both players checked.

Not to ruin the party, the two checked the {3-Spades}

turn as well.

The {j-Spades}

on the river prompted a bet of 1,200 and a call from Obrestad.

Obrestad turned over {q-Clubs}

for two pair to best her opponent's {j-Diamonds}

.

Lunardi Still Lurking

[user72279]

Kristian Lunardi, who has been battling on a shortstack for some time now, bumped it up to 1,000 preflop, and was called by the big blind. The flop was {2-Clubs}

and the big blind checked, and then raised to 3,200 after Lunardi bet 1,400.

The turn was the {9-Hearts}

and the big blind bet 4,000 only to see Lunardi move all in for 9,200 total. The big blind folded and Lunardi is up to 18,000.

Around the same time as best mate and fellow radio show host Hamish Blake was eliminated, Andy Lee got the last of his money into the middle with {a-Clubs}

on a flop that read {a-Spades}

The turn and river ran out {8-Hearts}

; both players had made two pair but Lee was no good against Rich and as a result, Lee now joins Blake on the rail.
