[user67765]

James Obst raised from the cutoff and Dean Blatt made the call in the big blind. The flop came down {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and Blatt checked to Obst who fired a continuation bet. Blatt made the call.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and both players checked. The river was the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and Blatt checked to Obst who fired 4,800. Blatt then check-raised to 9,600 and Obst flat-called.

Blatt tabled {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

for a straight but Obst held {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

for the ace-high straight to collect a healthy pot. Obst is now at 57,000 while Blatt needs some help only 19,000 chips.
