James Obst Eliminated in 5th Place (AUD$200,000)

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

From under the gun, Sam Trickett raised to 34,000. James Obst was in the next seat and reraised to 126,000. Action then folded to Tony Bloom in the big blind and he made it 275,000 to go. Trickett folded and Obst went all in for a little bit more. Bloom called.

Obst: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Bloom: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and that was the end of the road for Obst. He finished in fifth place and took home AUD$200,000 in winnings.

Just a Deuce

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

James Obst made it 33,000 from the button with David Steicke calling out of the big blind as a {2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop fell.

Both players checked before Obst fired a delayed 46,000-chip continuation bet when the turn landed the {5-Spades}.

Steicke made the call, and as the river landed the {j-Diamonds}, both players checked it though.

Obst tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, but it would be Steicke's {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} that would see him collect the pot.

Seidel Forces Steicke Fold

Level 11 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

David Steicke opened to 48,000 from under the gun with Erik Seidel giving him some action from the big blind.

The flop of {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} was checked by Seidel before Steicke cut out a bet of 57,000. Seidel made the call to see the {J-Diamonds} land on the turn as Seidel checked yet again.

Steicke followed suit by tapping the table also as the {9-Clubs} completed the board before Seidle slid out a bet of 60,000.

The clock ticked down on Steicke before he opted to fold his hand while dipping to 640,000 as Seidel climbs to 720,000 in chips.

Steicke Funks a Double

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

David Steicke raised to 38,000 and James Obst three-bet to 97,000 from the big blind. Steicke got funky with an all-in shove for 318,000 and Obst called.

Steicke: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}
Obst: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The flop came down {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and gave Steicke the lead with a pair of tens. The turn brought the {J-Clubs} to give both players a straight draw, but the {6-Spades} on the river sealed the double up for Steicke. He's up to 742,000 now.
