Just about 45 minutes into play, and we've had an elimination -- Annette Obrestad.
We only got over as the chips were being pushed to Obrestad's opponent and the 2007 WSOPE Main Event champion was walking away. The board read . Word was Obrestad had turned a straight and got it all in there versus an opponent holding for a set of sevens. The river brought him quads, and sent Obrestad out early.

The Ukrainian is down to 23,000 here in the early goings of Event #46.
Tom "durrrr" Dwan is here, presently chatting with Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott who sits on Dwan's left. Just now Dwan raised to 300 from the button, Ulliott folded, and the player in the big blind reraised to 1,200. Dwan continued talking with the Devilfish, all the while eyeing his opponent as he did. Finally he tossed out calling chips.
The flop came and Dwan's opponent didn't immediately act. His left hand, resting on the table, moved a bit and Dwan asked if he was checking. The BB then grabbed chips and bet 1,600.
The dealer leaned forward to caution Dwan's opponent about the ambiguous gesture. "Doesn't matter," said Dwan, who tossed his hand and resumed his chat with Ulliott.
