Obst happy with his start in the Main Event

James "Andy McLEOD" Obst has burst out of the gates early, here in his first Aussie Millions Main Event.

Obst was the beneficiary of a clash with Michael Pedley recently. Pedley raised to 325 from early position, with Obst and the player on the button making the call.

Pedley fired 725 at the {k-Hearts}

{k-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

flop, which Obst flat-called, with the button folding. On the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn Pedley made it another 1,100, and Obst raised it to 3,200. After thinking for a moment Pedley made the call to see the river. After Pedley quickly checked the river {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

to Obst, he fired out 10,000 which saw Pedley fold.

Obst is up to 25,000. Pedley down to 13,500.
