Marco Traniello Eliminated by Annette Obrestad

With around 12,000 chips in the pot and the board reading [QsJd9h9d], the player in the small blind checks and Marco Traniello moves all-in for 14,100.  Annette Obrestad is in late position and calls.

The player in the small blind thinks Obrestad might be up to something.  "Why didn’t you raise?"

"Maybe I wanted you to call," she responds.  

"We’ll find out won’t we," the player says as he mucks his hand.  Traniello shows [AdJh] for a pair of jacks and Obrestad reveals [KsQh] for a pair of queens.  A king on the river improves Obrestad to two pair and sends Traniello to the rail.

"I’ve never in my life seen anything like this," Chad Batista remarks, referencing Obrestad’s Day 2 domination at the tables.  

Obrestad is putting some distance between her and fellow big stack Matt Affleck.  She is now past the 500,000 chip mark.

Annette Obrestad – 575,000
Marco Traniello – eliminated
