Uh-Oh, Obrestad

Annette Obrestad opened the pot with a raise from the cutoff seat, and the button and both blinds came along to a four-handed flop.

It brought {9-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {J-Clubs}, and the action checked to Obrestad. She continued out with a bet of 1,000, and the button quickly called. The small blind ducked out, and the big blind called, and it was three-handed to the turn.

It was the {8-Hearts}, and Obrestad fired another 3,100 chips at the pot. After some pause from both opponents, they each called in turn. The river was the {5-Hearts} to put four hearts on board. Obrestad flicked out another 6,000, and the button would tank hard. He eventually made the call, and the big blind flashed the {Q-Hearts} as he mucked his hand.

Obrestad turned over {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and her opponent quietly said, "Nuts." He showed up {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}, ahead the whole time. His big flush knocks Annette down to a puny 4,400 chips.
