[user38449]

Looking at their stacks, you may have never known that Reuben Peters had more chips than Annette Obrestad. In fact, when Lee Jones announced to the crowd that Annette was the all-in player, many spectators in the crowd yelled out, "it's the other way around!"

Indeed, Lee Jones was correct in his assessment and it was Reuben who had Annette covered when the final hand went down. Here's how it happened:

From the button, Reuben made it 52,000 to go and was reraised by Annette, who kicked it to 190,000; Peters just called and the flop came {10-Clubs}

.

After some thought, Obrestad led out with a 230,000 bet and Peters countered with a big bet of his own - he moved all in.

Annette went into the tank for quite some time - at one point even getting out of her seat to examine her chip stack. She sipped several drinks from a bottle of water before eventually making the call. At the showdown, Annette showed {7-Spades}

, while Reuben showed {A-Spades}

for top pair, top kicker.

The turn and river filled out {4-Clubs}

and before declaring an official winner, Lee Jones and the tournament staff checked and rechecked the chip stacks to be certain Peters had Obrestad covered. After the count was made official, Lee Jones declared Reuben Peters the 2007 EPT Dublin Main Event Champion.
