All eyes were on last year's main event champ Annette Obrestad as she pushed her last 2,275 into the middle with the board showing {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades}.

Four players had limped into the pot preflop -- Obrestad one of them -- and all checked the flop. On the turn, everyone checked around to Annette who made the push into an 800 pot.

Action then fell to French pro Remy Biechel who made the call, as did Huseyin 'Sonofmyr' Yilmaz; the fourth player in the hand got out of the way.

Biechel and Yilmaz both checked the {2-Clubs} river and the following hands were shown down:

Obrestad: {9-Spades} {7-Spades}
Biechel: {J-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Yilmaz: {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Yilmaz scooped the pot, worth just over 7,500 and Annette will have to try her luck again on Monday.
