Lee Busts as Obst Takes Command

[user67765]

Jason Gray raised to 1,200 before Dave Lee popped it up to 1,800. Obst then capped it at 2,400 with both opponents making the call.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

and the action checked to Obst, who bet out for 600. Gray made the call before Lee check-raised to 1,200. Obst reraised once again to 1,800 and Gray stepped aside. Lee made the call all in for his tournament life.

Obst: {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

Lee:

{7-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

Both players had aggressively played their pocket pairs and when the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

hit the turn and {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

on the river, Lee was left heading to the exit as Obst is now up to 37,000 chips and amongst the chip leaders as we approach the dinner break.
