View on Poker - Annette Obrestad makes a very aggressive and brave move to win a huge pot!

[bestever1313]

It wouldve been an aggressive move if a club hit the river, and she moved all in and made dude fold his 6clubs.

[bestever1313]

how can you describe a call as an "agressive" move?

[weatherallc05]

apparently she berated doyle brunson. some1 take their time to find a reason to do that... hes the last person you would berate

[Boleslav69]

@weatherallc05 Probably cause he beated her heads up. :D

[weatherallc05]

@Boleslav69 probably cos shes a mega bitch haha

[zoranjovicic]

ugly midget making a great call....

[ScottishDoonie]

I agree, she had every right to not show her cards, but I would proudly turn over Ace high if he insta-mucked. Marvellous call.

[robswift008]

whats even better is she didnt want to show her hand........if i made that winning call i would of thrown it over like i was king dick......she is a GREAT player......on a side note he bet waaay to fast,no thinking at all he wouldnt of done that with a better hand

[3074861]

Great call!

[preg13]

why wouldn't she want to show? it was an awesome call and it lets the whole table know not to bluff her

[catalin627]

Omg I think is the best call in the poker history ever.

[Husapi]

@catalin627 Not even close, the best call was made by stu hungar in 1990.

Stacks: Ungar: ~60,000; Matloubi: ~40,000

Blinds: 200/400

Hands: Matloubi holds 5-4 offsuit in the BB; Ungar has 10-9 offsuit in the small blind (the button).

This hand ended when Matluobi moves all in on river, and Ungar calls with ten high.

[serratop]

@catalin627 Than you don't know poker

[smithersandburns]

There is nothing aggressive about what she did here.

[Cheshario]

what a call! :O

[marchesino1]

fa paura di bruttezza e come giocatrice veramente brava

[frodobaggypants]

She doesnt have to show if he mucks his hand

[willngross89]

@frodobaggypants

not true. There needs to be a winning hand produced at the showdown.

[FletcherHabit]

@willngross89 yea but not knowing the mucked hand , any hand could be the winning hand. I dont know the official rules and theyd vary from casino to casino but if the only other player in the hand mucks the other player automatically wins in my book (unpublished)

[everyonedoesit2]

@FletcherHabit Most casinos FOR TOURNAMENT POKER rules are that at "showdown" both hands must be shown. At a cash table you can muck your hand without showing whenever you like (in general). Mucking at showdown in tournaments is generally considered a no-no due to possible collusion.

[psbajunior]

@everyonedoesit2 could you please provide the source of that information?

[everyonedoesit2]

@psbajunior I'm afraid I can't give you a text-based internet source, just general experience from playing in all of my local casinos and card rooms. That's how it is over here in the UK, I can't speak for American Casinos. I just know that all of my regular card-rooms have this rule for tournament poker, but not at the cash tables. Sorry!

[Duelistic678Thinker]

I make calls like this all day

[mikeaprice09]

@Duelistic678Thinker of course you do.

[Duelistic678Thinker]

she's such a hottie !!! OMG!!!!

[szczep88]

she's hot? LOL, wait till she stands up... :P but personally for me, she doesn't even have to, so so it's better to don't touch this subject, and judge her strictly by game :P

[rossm21uk]

when phil is commentating it's a beautiful call ,when he is playing it's a moronic northern european

[ElephantRage]

legend in the making

[Fredolicious83]

She's hot??!!! I would say she's freakin ugly but ok

[Geotpf]

@wd2001 Phil Hellmuth shutting up? I don't think so.

[ElSpewtardo]

if he mucks she doesnt have to show. retarded ruling

[slicer1028]

@ElSpewtardo it was a called hand. the winning hand must be shown to prevent collusion. its a standard rule.

[galeng]

[ ] Aggressive

[x] Brave

[pokerstar56]

thats bullshit he threw his cards in she didnt have to show who agrees with me?

[jirkakrtek]

@pokerstar56

but he showed his cards

[NotHere2PlzU]

@jirkakrtek He mucked first though, did you not see him throw his cards on the table?

[Naraic2]

@pokerstar56 Well its a very grey area some card rooms force you to show a hand when your called down most players muck there hand to hide there bluffing range for example it hides if you turn a draw into a big bluff or wheter it was just one big bluff

[oSIMMSo]

@pokerstar56 they both showed right after she said that

[subiiime]

@pokerstar56 the dealer said you have to show the winning hand i think thats why she fliped the ace

[kieku87]

@pokerstar56 There are different rules all over the world, some places you need to show your hand to claim the pot, some places you don't have to show if other player(s) muck in showdown.

[redhidus]

@pokerstar56 I agree with you.. but most tournaments dictates to show cards on showdown. Even the other guy SHOULD show his hand if it goes to show down.(Not all tourneys)

Cash games is a different thing.. u dont need to show for sure.

[TheJoeWin]

@pokerstar56 only in pokerstars

[jamesod7]

@pokerstar56 That's the first time ive seen a comment get more likes than the video itself!

[gazz12345a]

Standard call for a heads up specialist.

[pdogger1]

Now that she's going to be a United States Supreme Court Justice I reckon she'll slow down her poker career a tad.............

[TheDormouse]

SHE'S SO STATIC.

[JazBlogShow]

I LOVE ANNETTE lol - she rocks!

[wamji84]

wow.

[Faygo069]

With all money aside, I bet she's seen this playing online poker a million times--busted flush draws and this board was paired--head's up play usually ace high for a paired board will be good enough. it's not as impressive as Patrik Antonius's $500,000 pot (200k bet) with Patrik calling with King High.

[24magiccarrot]

I think Annette's right she doesn't need to show her hand, she called, if anything Nick Slabe should show his hand cause he was the raiser, and Annette paid to see.

As is the rules for a showdown in Texas Hold'em the last aggressive player shows their hand then everyone shows in a clockwise direction.

[tedwilli9]

@24magiccarrot the rules are really weird about this...generally, in order to drag the pot, she needed to show -- but that's only an etiquette thing and it's really a casino to casino basis.  I know places where you can simply muck/muck and drag and other where you show to win even if the other guy's cards caught on fire.

[NobleKenshin]

Is that Phil Hellmuth commentating?

[7EnoughSaid7]

@NobleKenshin No, Daniel Negreanu

[24magiccarrot]

eh its definatly phil hellmuth, the commentator even says "that was her tournament phil"

[lukeavfc2009]

yes

[EaglemanX3Gorilla]

shes hot, and the fact that shes a really good poker player makes her SUPER HOT!!! I'd love to meet her some day.

[mFJap]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla shes a bitch

[HaroxW]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla you're being sarcastic right?

[EaglemanX3Gorilla]

@HaroxW Your right, she really isnt THAT hot... I was just admireing her poker skills and the fact she is a young girl player.

[Heimunen]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla Dude, stay away, she's mine! <3

[1980slh]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla shes hot your crazy she looks like a pig she has trotters for hands daaaaaaaaammm and she is a fish calling station and gets lucky

[fatsomamacheese]

@1980slh "and gets lucky" You are a moron lololol...people like you make my day.

[ronoc89]

@EaglemanX3Gorilla shes a ming u goth

[McBain86]

Regan's Not Here Right Now!!!

[johnjohnmajortom]

She runs good, and that was a nice call. But overall she is terrible and thinks way too much of herself.

in yo face!

[ba32107]

What happened at the end? Why did she have to show her hand?

[1337bard]

I don't know, he's the one that mucked... lol

[Muchodelcrazy]

I don't know, it doesn't make sense to me... didn't make sense to her, either. If someone's cards go in the muck, it's supposed to be over.

[itemman]

@ba32107 because he turned over his hand - if a player mucks at the end she dosn't have to show her hand unless she cant beat a snown hand.

[SteepDescent]

In a cash game you normally don't have to show if the bettor mucks- but in almost all tournies - the winning hand MUST be shown at showdown, regardless of any action. Surprised Annette didn't know this

[cjbridle1]

good call. but ur title is off. this is as passive as you can get

[SmotPoker09]

wow this is poker!

[fliptthescript]

looks like a angry donk tilt call. He bet to fast

[litoaznkid1129]

wow that was a great read. all these young kids are pretty good.

[2fight2best]

WoW ! haahha :D

Verry nice.

[twrl2007]

Thats got to be the best call i've ever seen.

[kitsune090]

@twrl2007 so you aren't seeing many poker games then, this is a standard call...

[DrQuailMan]

@kitsune090 Calling all-in with ace high is not standard. Try doing that every time and see how far you get.

[kitsune090]

@DrQuailMan it's standard in spots like that, the flop was dry and the turn put a flush draw, If he bet a club draw he'd bet again a blank river a ton, representing the J. She showed weakness by checking behind the flop, so she has no pocket pairs, flush draw or a big ace. She has medium or small ace or king high club, which he thinks he's able to lay down. The problem is that he'd check his all pocket pairs. The only hand that can beat her is a J and the rest is bluff/missed draw.

[kitsune090]

@DrQuailMan She thought she encouraged him to bluff her more than he's normally willing to do by checking the flop. That's so true that he was not exactly semi-bluffing the turn given the strength of his club draw, he was pure bluffing, waiting for a blank river like that to bluff again. So this is the reason why call is standard, it's because the frequency of bluff is pretty higher in that situation and the range that beat her is really very small, pretty much only a J.

[kitsune090]

@DrQuailMan So all players who are good Heads Up players know these spots, so They don't need to think too much, it's an automatic play. This hand is Heads Up, and you see a lot of calls with A high even K high, because it's heads up. So it's standard for a HU hand, but not standard 3 way hand for exemple.

[Linu86]

@kitsune090 sry, ur clueless, Dr. QuailMan is right

[maccaboy94]

@twrl2007 you should have seen when she folded a fullhouse

[Rinor888]

great play, great poker...

[RustDemon79]

Great play, bad poker...

[TiLLuS88BaZiLLuS]

uhm hope u know that ur statement contradicts itself?
