Annette Aces a Double Up

Level 5 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With about 75,000 in the pot on the turn, and the board reading {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}, Annette Obrestad slid in the rest of her chips, moving all-in for 84,500. Paul Phua, her only opponent in the hand thought for a few moments, asked for a count and decided to make the call.

Obrestad immediately revealed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, which was well ahead of the {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Phua. Holding the ace of spades, Obrestad was in great shape to double up, and that's just what she did when the {2-Hearts} hit on the river.

Obrestad is around her starting stack of 244,500.
