Oh There's Obst

James Obst is one of the most famous Australian poker player, but yet we had a hard time finding him today. The big pot he just played against chip leader Brian Payne put him in the spotlights, and we know where to find "Andy McLEOD" from now on!

Elliot Smith kicked things off by raising to 1,200 and Brian Payne called. Obst three-bet to 4,100 and only Payne called. The flop came down {5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Payne check-called 5,300.

On the turn the {6-Diamonds} hit and Payne checked again. Obst moved all in for 41,300 and Payne went into the tank for several minutes. Finally he decided to call and Obst reluctantly showed his {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Payne showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Obst got up out of his chair. He didn't have to go just yet as the river brought the {9-Hearts} giving him a straight.

Break

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

The remaining 85 players are on their final 15-minute break of the evening.

Level: 7

Blinds: 400/800

Ante: 100

Taking it Easy

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

With just one level left in the day players seem to be taking it easy. The day has been long and we've seen quite some players yawn as we're into the 12th hour of play. There are probably going to be some big pots towards the end of the day, but for now it's still Brian Payne who's in pole position with around 210,000 chips.

Updated Chip Counts

The table with Richard Ashby, Micah Raskin and Billy Jordanou was just broken up. Jackie Glazier was moved away from this table a little earlier and is now seated with Eoghan O'Dea.
