Obst Rains on Seidel's Parade

Level 6 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel raised from the cutoff seat on the next hand following the one where his jacks held up to bust Peter Jetten. He made it 11,000 to go and James Obst three-bet from the big blind to 34,000. Seidel four-bet to 80,000 and this hand was looking very similar to the last one. Obst moved all in for 291,000 and Seidel called.

Seidel: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Obst: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

Seidel got back-to-back pocket jacks and was eyeing another big pot if he could hold once again. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and although he didn't hit yet, Obst picked up a world of outs.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Seidel only needed to dodge the river card. The dealer slapped the {K-Spades} on the felt and Obst spiked to win the hand. He saw his stack vault to 583,500 while Seidel dropped way down to 250,000 after winning a huge pot last hand.
