Obst Starts Well

[user67765]

Young gun James "Andy McLEOD" Obst is also off to a bright start in his first live Main Event on home soil.

Obst called bets from his opponent on all streets on a board of {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

. When faced with a 6,500 chip decision on the river, Obst went into the tank for a long time and seemed unsure about whether to just call or move his entire stack into the middle. In the end he just made the call as his opponent flipped {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

for the busted straight draw, which was well behind Obst's {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

for a full house.

Obst is a dangerous man with chips in front of him as he is off to a great start to already sit with 30,000 chips.
