Event Info
In Match #1, Obrestad got her money in on the flop with an open-ended straight draw and was called by Brunson who had paired up on the flop. Though Obrestad hit a queen-high straight on the turn, Brunson rivered a king-high straight and notched the win.
Match #2 came to an end after only about fifteen minutes of play between the two. The money went in on a jack-high flop, Obrestad holding , out-kicking Brunson's . Luck struck again for Texas Dolly, however, as he turned a three, making two pair. Obrestad couldn't improve on the river, and the match went to Brunson.
Both bracelet winners will be back at the Empire for the £10,000 WSOP-E Main Event in a few days time. Perhaps a re-match is in order?
In the meantime, I can report that Dave Penly is munching on a ham and cheese baguette and Chris Ferguson just scratched his chin. We'll keep you updated on any further action.
