{Q-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

. Obst was in commanding lead, showing down {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

against his opponent's {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. However the board did not cooperate. It came running straight cards for Obst's opponent, {J-Clubs}

The loss was only a small hit for Obst, knocking him back to about 27,000.
