Obrestad Can't Fade the Flush Draw

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We arrived at the flop as Annette Obrestad bet out 800 on {3-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades} from the big blind. Het opponent, in the cutoff position, decided he wanted to go with his hand, and pushed his 3,975 into the middle. Just as quick, Obrestad made the call and the cards were tabled.

Annette Obrestad:{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Cutoff position:{9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {7-Diamonds} on the turn gave the cutoff four more outs and he sealed the deal with the {2-Spades} on the river. Obrestad has to continue her tournament with (a still above average stack off) around 10,000.

Dunst Busts One

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Tony Dunst holding {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} put another player all in when he hit a boat on a {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. The player holding {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} was not happy to see his flush draw was no good. The turn {8-Hearts} and river {j-Clubs} did not change things and Dunst added to his stack.

"I got Chips Bro!"

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

The player under-the-gun opened to 325, and two positions down Jason mercier made it 850 to go. The hijack cold-fourbet and threw in 3,000 with 1,075 behind. Everyone folded to Jason Mercier who announced that he was allin. The call followed immediately and we had a showdown. Mercier's {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} was in a race against the hijacks {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The flop brought out two kings and no nine followed: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{4-Spades} | {3-Diamonds} | {10-Clubs}. "I got Chips Bro!" Mercier said with a smile. He has about 12,000 it looks like.

Weisner Busts Bojang

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Melanie Weisner raised it up to 500 from early position and saw Ismael Bojang three bet to 1,250 from the small blind. When the big blind folded to her, she put her German opponent allin but placing a stack of yellow 1,000 chips in the middle of the table. Bojang spa called quickly but his {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} was in trouble against Weisner's {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The board didn't help out Bojang: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Clubs} | {4-Clubs} | {3-Hearts}. Weisner now plays about 20,000 in chips.
