Smith Bombs the River on Obst
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of A♠8♥5♦, Tyler Smith bet 200,000 from the small blind and James Obst called on the button.
The turn came the 4♥ and Smith led out for another 500,000. Obst again called and the 10♣ fell on the river.
Smith now announced pot, pushing forward a bet of 1,725,000 that easily covered Obst's remaining stack. Obst spent more than a minute in the tank and burned through his time bank card before he called for his last chips.
Smith turned over Q♠10♥7♥6♦ for the nut straight and Obst went to muck as he made his exit. The dealer retrieved his cards and exposed A♥Q♥7♦5♠ long after Obst had already left the table.
