Annette Obrestad Eliminated in 13th Place (€77,000)

Annette Obrestad opted for cagey play after dinner. It worked for her the first time she tried it, limping in from the small blind as first in and then pushing Eric Qu off his hand after he raised from the big blind to 210,000. The second time, however, it cost Obrestad her place in the tournament.

Mikhail Tulchinskiy got things started with a raise to 150,000. Obrestad had position on Tulchinskiy and opted to call. The small blind, Pieter de Korver, also called for a three-way flop of {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Spades}. Action checked to Obrestad, who bet 300,000. De Korver asked for a count on Obrestad (about 1.3 million) before raising to 800,000. Tulchinskiy sensed that his presence was not needed. He folded.

Obrestad, the only player left to act in the pot, silently moved the rest of her chips over the betting line. De Korver quickly called, showing Obrestad some very bad news.

Obrestad: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}
De Korver: {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

De Korver's set of nines had Obrestad crushed. She very quickly gathered her things after turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river {9-Hearts} made unnecessary quads for de Korver. Obrestad was out of the door within 60 seconds. At some point she'll be back to collect €77,000.
