Antonio Casale Eliminated by James Obst

[user92162]

A super short-stacked Antonio Casale moved the last of his chips into the middle holding {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

on a

{2-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

flop, and James Obst made the call with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

.

The turn {k-Diamonds}

{k-Diamonds}

was a safe card for Casale, but unfortunately the river {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

was not, making Obst's flush and giving Casale an early mark from today's tournament.

Obst continues to move up the field, and even though it is still very early, this could be the day of his breakthrough live tournament victory.
