Adams and Obst Battle
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
When we arrived at the table, Brandon Adams had what appeared to be a three-bet of 34,000 sitting in front of him. James Obst had just four-bet to 88,000 out of position, and the action was back on Adams. He called.
The dealer fanned 
, and Obst continued for 82,000. Adams sat stoically for the better part of a minute, then assembled two short stacks of brown T25,000 chips. He added a few yellow T5,000 chips on top, and pushed forward a raise to 245,000.
It was Obst's turn to tank, and no less than 90 seconds later, he assembled a re-raise. With two hands, he pushed forward four towers of yellow T5,000 chips, re-raising to 408,000. Adams sat quietly for half of a minute, then folded.
Lynn Gilmartin spoke with Adams earlier about his interactions with Obst throughout Day 2 and 3, particularly the key hand that saw Adams begin his tourney up the chip counts:
| Player | Chips | Progress |
|---|---|---|
|
1,050,000 | 325,000 |
|
750,000 | -230,000 |
