James Obst opened the pot to 4,300 and action was folded around to the player in the small blind who moved his stack all in.
When action came back around to Obst, he instantly pushed a stack of 5,000-denomination chips into the middle, more than enough to cover his opponents all-in bet.

Opponent:
Obst was looking good to add to his growing stack, while one player was looking towards the rail as the board ran out .
Mitch Carle started the day as the chip leader and manged to continue adding to that stack early in the day. Carle has been a little quieter this afternoon, but is still one of the leaders and is still managing to take out a few players.
One of Carle's casualties recently was Joey Baker, who would need a lot of help holding against the of Carle.
The board ran out ,with a bit of a sweat for Baker on the turn, but it wasn't meant to be, as Baker hit 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.
