Down and Up for Obrestad

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Annette Obrestad

Annette Obrestad and Alan Meltzer have been mixing it up quite a bit today. In a recent hand, Meltzer found himself all in on a flop of {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for 22,125 with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} against the {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} of Obrestad. Meltzer was in trouble but found deliverance when the {Q-Hearts} spiked on the turn. Unfortunately for Obrestad, the {6-Hearts} river changed nothing and she was left with just 7,950.

Not long after, Meltzer limped from the hijack and Obrestad did the same from the cutoff. Michael Binger then woke up with a raise to 1,200 from the button, which was enough to get Meltzer to fold; however, Obrestad pushed back to the tune of 3,150. Binger reraised enough to put his opponent all in and Obrestad made the call:

Binger: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Obrestad: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The board ran out an uneventful {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Obrestad doubled to to 15,000. Meanwhile, Binger took a hit down to 25,000.
