"Obrestad is OUT?!"

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Annette Obrestad (during Opening Event): obliterated!
Annette Obrestad (during Opening Event): obliterated!

Our PokerNews field reporter caused our jaws to drop in media row when he delivered the news that Annette Obrestad was the first player eliminated from this event!

Sure enough, a quick glance up from our laptop confirmed it as we saw Obrestad walking towards the exits. As we discovered, it was one Jimmy Wong who was the man responsible for sending the defending champion to the rail.

The money was all in the middle before the flop; Wong and Obrestad had already used their second-chance cards earlier in the tournament and Obrestad had tabled {A-}{Q-}{J-}{10-} but was in a world of pain against the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Wong.

Despite hitting a Broadway draw on the flop of {10-}{K-}{6-}, Wong improved to two pair when a repeat {K-} hit on the turn before an {8-} blanked out on the river. Wong is now up to 18,000 in chips.

We should take time to mention that the 2011 Aussie Millions $1,100 Pot Limit Omaha event features a double-chance format. Each player starts with 5,000 in chips but they are also given a "second chance" card, which entitles them to an additional 5,000 in chips during the first three levels at any time, regardless of their chip stack.
