Obrestad Bounced
Ayaz Mahmood moved all in on the turn of a board reading 
. Annette Obrestad sat frozen in the tank while Mahmood chomped on his gum and stared off into the distance, trying to look as calm as possible. After a few tense minutes, he called the clock, which only gives players another 30 seconds to make their decisions in this event. Obrestad finally decided on a call, putting herself at risk.
Obrestad: 
for a flush draw
Mahmood: 
for trip aces
The 
river was heartless for Annette, and she and her posse are already out the door. Mahmood is on his way to making a name for himself among the tv-watching set, but he'll have to get through Barry Greenstein in the next round to keep it going.
