Obrestad Drowned on the River

Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad

On a board showing {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}, an unknown player bet 625 and Obrestad moved all in for her remaining chips. Her opponent made the call and Obrestad was looking good when the cards were turned over.

Obrestad: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Unknown Player: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

All Obrestad needed to do was avoid a king or queen on the river, but her luck didn't hold when the {K-Diamonds} appeared. Both players made a full house, but Obrestad's was lower and she was eliminated from her first 2010 World Series of Poker tournament.
