Reuben Peters takes EPT Dublin final table; Annette Obrestad “not happy”

Annette Obrestad held strong to the end, but eventually came in second to Reuben Peters, a stock trader from Colorado, at the PokerStars.com EPT Final Table in Dublin. After picking off most of the competition for Peters, Obrestad hesitated, called, and ended up with a European Poker Tour runner-up title.
A PokerStars.com online qualifier, Peters had this to say on the official Pokerstars blog:
Today I was getting horrible cards and Annette just ran over the table. But the blinds weren’t big so there was no panic, I felt like I could take my time.
I was not supposed to win this. I was down to five big blinds yesterday. I started as one of the short stacks and needed to double up. I got lucky, but it’s good to get lucky in poker.
When I got some cards I was able to play back her. I’ve played against her many times online in $100 re-buys on PokerStars but that’s the first time I’ve met her face to face. It’s by far my biggest win to date.
Obrestad, clearly a perfectionist, said, “I made a few mistakes. I’m not happy.”
