The eliminations are coming fast and furious at this final table; we've already seen four competitors join the rail after just one hour of play.

The most recent bustout came at the hands of Trond Eidsvig, who sent Anders Pettersson packing when his A-4 held up against Pettersson's Q-7 in a pre-flop, all-in confrontation. The board filled out 2-K-4-10-2, and Trond's ace-high was good enough to take down the pot.

For his 6th-place finish, Pettersson received €83,380 in prize money.

Reijo Manninen just doubled up through Daan Ruiter after his pocket aces held up against Daan's A-K in a pre-flop all in confrontation of monstrous proportions.

Manninen had over 500,000 chips to start the hand and the double up brought him past the 1 million mark, joining Annette Obrestad as the only two members of the final table's millionaire's club.

Ruiter dropped to approximately 270,000 in chips after the hand.

Annette Obrestad Ousts Another One!

Annette Obrestad is the kind of player that can beat you with or without cards - but when the cards are falling her way, look out.

So far, she's eliminated three of the five players who've been eliminated, her most recent victim being Daan Ruiter, who started the day second in chips. Annette and Daan got all of the money in pre-flop and Annette had the best of it with A-J against Daan's A-10.

The board came {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and according to Lee Jones, Annette had the ace of clubs, meaning Daan would need a serious runner-runner suckout to overcome the odds, stacked heavily against him. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn didn't quite cooperate, and Daan would settle for 5th-place prize money, worth €105,510.

Having had a smooth ride thus far at the final table, Annette Obrestad has been sporting a smile for much of the day; except for when she's involved in a pot - then, of course, she's got her poker face on.

Correction

Earlier we incorrectly reported that Annette Obrestad eliminated Anders Pettersson from the event, when it was, in fact, Trond Eidsvig who sent Pettersson packing.

The erroneous blog post has been modified with the correct information.

Reuben Peters Doubles Through Annette_15

Moments ago, American Reuben Peters doubled through tournament chip leader Annette Obrestad to stay alive in the tournament.

All of the money went into the pot pre-flop and Annette had a slight edge, tabling A-K offsuit against Peters' {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, giving Peters a gutshot straight flush draw and a couple of overcards to the flop, which actually put him in the lead against Annette's ace-high. The {3-Spades} on the turn swapped the odds once again, however, and Peters would need to hit one of his many outs to stay alive.

Sure enough, a queen fell off on the river and Peters took down the pot, doubling through to approximately 800,000 chips after the hand.
