On return to the arena, I see that Anders Pettersson is quietly laddering himself up the placings has about 70,000 chips left, in the small blind against Trond Erik he moves all in and Trond makes the call easily as he has an Ace at least. 

Trond Erik   
Pettersson 

Trond's Ace high stands and that means,

Anders Pettersson is OUT and becomes the 6th place finisher winning €83,380

I read on some **other** site that it was Annette who knocked out Petersson.  Confirm/deny?

I will CONFIRM it was Trond Erik that knocked out Pettersson because I saw it with my own eyes...

The pace here is blisteringly fast, and as yesterday no sooner do we write an exit then another one happens.  Tada - I have news of another exit.  This one involved the recently chip depleted Daan Ruiter and Annette The Destroyer.  They were all in preflop with:

Annette 
Ruitter   

The flop was   

And that was enough for Annette to win the 220,000 chips of Ruitter and

Daan Ruiter is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning €105,510

Cheers for updates, looking like Annettes going to take this down.

Please get us a pic of Annette's stack.  I'm curious to see if she's stacking tall today or doing traditional stacks of 20.

[snoopy1239]

Unless we see Aces run into Kings, Tens into Ace-King, and so on, a flurry of early final table exits is usually followed by a slow period whilst we wait for the blinds to catch up with the increasing stack sizes. After watching the last 15 hands, that's exactly what has happened here, the blinds in relation to the stack sizes being relatively small and allowing for a few flops to be played.

Although you'd expect Annette to be raising and re-raising every hand, her ruthless aggression is nowhere to be seen, instead adopting a more patient strategy and waiting for her opponents to hang themselves. However, this doesn't mean that she isn't playing any hands, just not over-committing herself unnecessarily. Her timing seems to be spot on at the moment, because when she does make a move, it seems to be the correct one, and is therefore taking down a lot of easy pots uncontested.

Apart from Trond raising Annette all-in pre-flop on one hand, it's mostly been a case of players taking it in turns to take the blinds, or stepping aside as Annette bets a three-way pot on the flop. Out of the three, I would say that Reuben has been the quietest, but this has clearly served him well thus far as come bubble time, he was one of the shortest stacks, and he has been near the foot of the list for most of the tournament.

Chili, snoops, I need your help.

I am stuck at Dublin Airport, waiting for a delayed Compo, who's with Tim, the Sound/Cameraman Chappie. Their delayed flight is now due in at 18.25.

Can you have a word with Annette please - tell her to SLOW DOWN. We don't want it to end before our Cameraman arrives....

Oh, & I LOVED the Collage!

See you guys later.

With blinds at 6,000 / 12,000, Rueben Peters makes a raise to 30k and is reraised by Trond Erik.  Peters passes and Trond shows 7 2 suited for some gufaws from the crowd.

A couple of hands later, Peters raises again to 35,000 and Annette makes a reraise of 92,000 total.  Peters goes all in and Annette calls.  The hands are:

Annette 
Peters   

The board came

    to give Peters a multitude of outs

 
 

For a double up for Peters to around 420,000.

Cheers Tikay, ok no problem.  I will go now and prod Annette in the ribs, hopefully inducing some winding but no lasting damage

Great pic of Anne tho.  The stacking tall method is so much more balla.

World Class chip stacking - she deserves to win for that skill alone 

[snoopy1239]

If ever there were a hand that might prise out the "luckbox" cries from our viewers, then it could be this one.

On a Flop of , Reijo check-raises Annette's 43k bet to 110k, only for Annette to calmly slide in an extra 133k more to make it 243k in total. Lifting his cards a millimetre off the felt as if seriously contemplating a fold, Reijo has second thoughts and plops a sole chip on his cards to mull over his decision. After rubbing his forehead as if tortured by the situation at hand, Reijo confidently makes the call in a manner that suggests he's going nowhere for the rest of the hand.

Before the dealer has barely laid down the Turn, Reijo's finger swiftly taps the felt leaving the decision with a much more pensive, and intense for that matter, Annete Obrestad. Seemingly deep in concentration and as physically unmoved as always, Annette checks behind.

A Turn, and once again, Reijo quickly checks, almost as if enticing Annette to bet the River. Another pause from Annette and, as expected, out pop the 10k pink chips, this time 30 of them being slid across the line to make a River bet of 300k.

Convinced he's ahead, Reijo rechecks his hand, glances down at his chips before making what appeared to be a relatively assured call. Unfortunately for the Fin, Annette was fibbing on the Flop, but not on the River, her revealing of a cheeky for a nasty straight reflecting a some what fortunate River. Reijo, meanwhile, rues his misfortune, or perhaps the lack of another raise on the Flop or bet on the Turn, and shows his for a flopped top pair.

A crucial hand goes to the young Norwegian whiz as the veteran looks down at his depleted 400k stack with the chagrin of a discarded puppy.
