Obrestad Gets Unlucky

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante
Annette Obrestad
Annette Obrestad

The player under the gun moved all in for 950 and it folded around to Annette Obrestad, on the button, who made the call.

Obrestad: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
UTG: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop paired Obrestad's opponent and she couldn't find any help on the {3-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river. This loss leaves Obrestad short-stacked but it didn't seem to phase her.

Flopped Boat for Lusin

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Melisse Lusin raised to 700 from under the gun, and the only caller was Mika Hilaire on the button. The flop fell {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and Lusin bet out for 1,500. Hilaire called, and the dealer turned the {q-Hearts}. Lusin again bet out for 1,500, and Hilaire again called. The river was the {q-Clubs}, putting two high pairs on the board, and both players checked. Lusin showed {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped full house, and Hilaire mucked her cards.

Coren Forces Fold

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Vicky Coren checked on the flop with the board reading {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-}, and her opponent bet 750. Coren then pushed forward a stack of chips big enough to put her opponent all in. After thinking for a moment, the flop bettor elected to fold, and Coren pulled in the pot. She's now up to 10,500.

Bad River for Cailly

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

When we arrived the board was already fanned out {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Lucille Cailly had bet out 1,725. Her opponent took a moment but then called. The river came the {6-Spades}. This time Cailly checked. Her opponent started grabbing black chips and stacking in five chips each as though she was planning on betting them. Instead she took three of her T500 purple chips and gently tossed them in the middle.

Cailly made a fairly quick call. She was not happy when her opponent showed {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for the rivered straight. With that hand Cailly moved her stack down to 3,850.

Lindley Climbing

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We came to the table just as Christina Lindley was calling the all in of another player. Everyone else folded and the hands were tabled.

Lindley: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {k-}{q-}

The board came out {6-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} to give Lindley a full house and eliminating a player in the process.

Segall Doubles

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A short-stacked Emily Segall moved all in preflop and received one call. She showed {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and her opponent turned over {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Spades}, giving Segall top pair and a double-up.

With relatively short starting stacks, the rising blinds are starting to force more all-in confrontations. Over half the Brasilia room is now empty as players are being eliminated and tables are broken
