Obadun Stays Silent
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Francis Obadun bet 3,100 from the hijack on a board of 5♣K♦4♦2♥ and Nim Rattan called on the button.
The river came the 3♥ and Obadun then moved all in for 32,300. Rattan began tanking as the talkative Obadun, who can usually be heard from across the room, fell silent.
Rattan used up several minutes before she called. "I didn't mean to be rude. I just really wanted to get paid," Obadun said as he turned over 6♦6♠ for a straight. Rattan mucked her hand and Obadun, who finished runner-up in the 888poker LIVE London Main Event earlier this year, doubled up.
"Do you want some change," Obadun joked with tablemate Leo McClean, back to his normally loquacious ways.
"Now we got him going," McClean replied.
