Obrestad Starts the Long Climb Back

Annette Obrestad was in second chip position at the start of the day and has slowly sunk back to the pack as play has progressed. She was the beneficiary of a five-way pot a few moments ago. With 40,000 chips in the middle, the flop came down {A-Spades}

. Action checked to Nhan Le, who made an exploratory bet of 13,000. That folded all players except Obrestad.

The turn came down {9-Spades}

. Obrestad mixed things up by leading into Le on that seemingly harmless card for 27,000 chips. Le tanked, then made the call. The river was the {5-Clubs}
