Vathne: snapping at the chip leaders' heels

That's what one table mate of Aleksander Vathne and Annette Obrestad commented after a pot nearly reaching 100k went from the latter to the former. The raising took off on the turn, when the board looked like: {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

. It looked like Annette must have check-raised her opponent (my attention momentarily distracted by the Kuremszki all in at the adjoining table) for there was a little lake of red 5k chips in the middle as the river came down {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. This hand actually reached showdown:

Annette_15: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

Vathne:

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

Vathne's towers grow still higher.
