Annette Obrestad Eliminated in 7th Place ($175,000 AUD)

Action folded over to Annette Obrestad in the hijack seat and she raised all in for 600,000. Tyron Krost was next in line and fresh of his elimination of Stephen Shelly. He went into the tank. After a minute or two, Krost slid out the chips to make the call. Everyone else behind him folded.

Obrestad was racing for her tournament life when her {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} was up against the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} of Krost.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the door closed a little more on Obrestad. Krost picked up a set of sevens, but Obrestad wasn't fully dead yet, she did have a straight draw now.

The turn card brought the {5-Diamonds} and kept Krost in front. Obrestad's cheering section began chanting, "Ten! Ten! Ten! Ten!" over and over.

The river card wouldn't bring it to them or to Annette after the {K-Hearts} hit the felt. Obrestad gave a hug to her Betfair teammate Sorel Mizzi and shook the hands of the other competitors before exiting to the rail. She took home $175,000 AUD for her efforts. She topped her performance from last year where she came in 21st place — an amazing run in back-to-back years.

If you didn't catch the video yesterday, Lynn Gilmartin caught up with Annette during Day 4. You can check it out here:
