Back Of the 'Nette

A progression of potting, re-potting and so on had Annette Obrestad virtually all in on a {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} flop, her last 1,000 going in on the {6-Hearts} turn.

Obrestad: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Brian Johnson: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

River: {9-Clubs} which changed nothing

Aces held up against kings, and Obrestad doubled up to stay in the game with a respectably above-average 47,500. Johnson meanwhile dropped to around 60,000.

There was a smattering of applause from the rail, which turned out to be coming from a handful of Betfair staff watching the action. Johnson looked up to meet the eye of his pal, UK circuit regular Catman. "It's not me clapping, Brian, it's them," assured the Catman.
