: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Shoshiro Karita opened to 20,000 from early position, James Obst three-bet to 46,000 from the small blind, and Dan Shak cold four-bet to 200,000 from the big blind. Karita quickly folded.
Obst started talking with Shak, and we're not exactly sure what he said to Shak, but we're positive that said the word, "aces."
Eventually, Obst announced that he was all in. Shak snap-called the 625,000-chip bet.
Obst: 
Shak: 
Shak had the Aussie crushed, and held as the board ran out 
. Shak now has 1.3 million chips, while Obst is down to 385,000.
