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.

As some may have suspected, This Dublin EPT has turned into the Annette Obrestad Show.  The action has just gone:

Rueben raises, Tronde reraises, Reuben goes all in, Trond passes.

Manninen rasies to 42K, Annette reraises to 400k, Manninen folds.

Reuben raises to 45K, Annette reraises to 130K, very slowy and counting the amount out which she doesn't usually do (more times than not its just a push of a big tall stack).

Tronde then goes all for a total of 286,000. Reuben folds and leaves it up to Annette to insta call.

Trond Erik Eidsvig  

The aces hold for Annette_15 the dominatrix which means

Trond Erik Eidsvig is OUT and becomes the 4th place finisher winning €127,630

Reijo Manninen is OUT and becomes the 3rd place finisher winning €178,680

After a surprisingly quiet period, it all kicks off with Annette in the small blind and Reijo in the big. I didn't quite see how much Annette raised it by, but it looked to be around the 40k mark. In response, Reijo pushed all-in, which led to Annette requesting a chip count.

With the answer being 171k more, Annette sighed, looked down at her chips and announced call.

Annette =

Reijo =

Prior to the Fin's exit, there was an interesting situation (well, for a geeky poke enthusiast like me) where Reijo was desperately trying to stay alive, Reuben was holding out for Reijo's departure so he could be heads up with Annette, and Annette was taking advantage of the aforementioned situation by bullying both.

Meanwhile, Jesse May breaks the tension of the crowd by pointing at Marina and joking, "It's not often the most famous person at the table is the dealer", although I feel that might be a tad harsh on Annette who is quickly becoming a megastar within the industry.

[mdwexford]

So Annette has like a 10/1 chip lead or something then??

Shes a machine plus shes running gooot.

[snoopy1239]

Good luck Annette not like you need it.

[Chili]

about 20 hands into the Heads up and Reuben Peters doubles up.  It was just as Annette was chip chipping away making small dents in Peter's already tiny stack in comparison.

Annette makes up the blinds and Reuben checks.  We all see a flop of

  

Annette makes it 29,000 & Reuben bumps it up to 85,000.  Annette goes all in & Rueben makes the call for his tournament life.

Annette 
Reuben    

No help for Annete and Rueben doubles throuh to about 920,000.

Who said this was over?

With his confidence sky high after a much needed double up, Reuben Peters finds himself on the receiving end of a 130k River bet on a board after calling a 43k pre-flop raise, checking the Flop, and betting 80k on the Turn. Out of position, Reuben can only rest his head in his hands and contemplate what is a seemingly tough decision for a decent chunk of his remaining chips. Usually unnerved, the laid-back American removes his ipod to show that he means business and, after glancing up at the skies momentarily, announces call.

Annette mucks leaving the Reuben to proudly show for another morale boosting pot.

From what I understand, Reuben is now hovering around the 1 million mark and back in business.

Blinds are now 10,000 20,000 and the momentum seams to be going towards Reuben Peters right now.  There were couple of flops seen where Rueben took down small pots then this pot developed.

Rueben raises it to 55k from the small blind and Annette reraised to 160,000 total.  Rueben made the call.  The flop came:

 

Annette, again slowly and methodically places a tower of 420,000 chips in front of her.  Reuben insta goes "all in", Annette insta mucks.
