Hand #53 - Annette Obrestad

Oyvind Riisem has the button in Seat 2. Magnus Persson raises to 46,000, Johannes Korsar calls, and Annette Obrestad moves all in from the big blind for 438,000. Persson moves all in over the top and Korsar folds. Obrestad shows {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, while Persson shows the {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The flop is {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}, the turn is the {J-Diamonds}, the river is the {2-Hearts}, and Obrestad doubles through Persson.

Hand Analysis: Hands #41-50

The Jorgensen busted out on Hand #41, which is the second elimination of the final table.

Johannes Korsar shifted gears and played a few more pots. He won four over the last round and added to his stack. Matt McCullough also picked up three pots to keep pace with John Tabatabai.

Oyvind Riisem was shut out for again for the second consecutive round. He has only won two hands in the last 40. It appears that our Norwegian friend is card dead?

The super-tight Dominic Kay did not win any pots either.

£20,000 to wear a shirt - Not Bad

James Keys will be back next year and the year after that too

The good people at Betfair have put on a brilliant players lounge for all their players with everything one could ask for. Also for our final table players, as a congratulations and a thank you for wearing their shirts, it looks like they are going to get bought into the next two WSOPE events.

Which, assuming the buy-in is still £10,000 is not a bad £20k pay day for wearing a Betfair shirt.
