McKenzie was all in preflop holding 
and looking good against the 
of Colman.
The board ran out 
, with the queen on the flop sending McKenzie to the rail.

Peter Aristidou raised to 4,500 from middle position, which James Obst then popped to 10,500 from the cutoff. Arsitidou then made it another 20,000 and Obst announced he was all in, having Aristidou well covered. Aristidou quickly made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Obst:
Aristidou: 
The flop of 
was relatively safe for Aristidou, even improving his hand to trips.
The turn card was the , still pretty safe for Aristidou, but giving Obst a few outs, needing a queen to make a straight.
I think by now it's pretty clear where we are going with this.
River:
A painful river for Arisitidou as he exits the building and Obst chips up after hitting the lucky runner-runner.

Greer now sits as the lady with the most chips!
