Obrestad Loses to Ace-King High

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

She's still in with a lammer and 31,000 chips, but Annette Obrestad couldn't believe she lost to Tres Davis' ace-king high.

Both players got the chips they could in pre flop and the cards were on their backs.

Obrestad: {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Davis: {k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Davis asked after the flop if he could win, "one time", with ace-king high and he got his wish,

Ryyannen Cashes In Lammers

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

One the last remaining matches where neither player had used any of their rebuy lammers was between Andy Frankenberger and Sampo Ryyannen. Frankenberger opened a hand, Ryyannen shoved and Frankenberger called.

Frankenberger: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Ryyannen: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

The board ran {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} and Frankenberger's pair of nines held. Ryyannen cashed in both his remaining lammers and Frankenberger still has his two.

DW Getting Short

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

David Williams is down 25,900 and his last lammer after losing a hand to Yevgeniy Timoshenko.

Timoshenko raised to 4,000 and Williams peeled to see an {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Timoshenko continued for 3,200 and called after Williams check-raised to 8,500.

Both players checked through the the {8-Clubs} turn before Williams check-called a 9,000 bet on the {j-Hearts} river. Timoshenko opened {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} and scooped as Williams mucked.

It looks as if Williams is waiting for the PLO round, coming up shortly, to cash in his final lammer.

Leif Force didn't even have to cash in one of his two spare lammers in defeating Darren Kramer.

Sexton's route through was just as easy. In the final hand Andy Seth shoved with {7-Spades}{9-Spades} and Sexton called with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The board ran {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to make Sexton a straight.

Mike Sexton playing fast for a reason.
Mike Sexton playing fast for a reason.

Mike Sexton has Andy Seth down to his last rebuy lammer. In the first 20 minutes he took his first lammer and right before the level change he took the other. Seth moved all in preflop and Sexton called.

Seth: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Sexton: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and Seth gave the dealer his last rebuy chip.

Sexton has incentive to play fast, he's also in Event 4 Stud HiLo with an average stack.
