Obst My God

Maridu Mayrinck, herself a former blogger and therefore finely attuned to these sorts of things, called me over to tell me that there was a gigantic three-way all-in monster hand happening at her table. I duly strolled over just as the cards were on their backs.

Unknown gentleman: all in with {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Pieter Visser: also all in with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
James Obst: just about covering the both of them with {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

Board: an outdraw-free {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

Thus Mr. Visser (who incidentally seems to be around 8 feet tall when he stands up; very unexpected) and the unfortunate gentleman who'd pushed first with the {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} were both bust. Obst meanwhile was up to around 250,000.

"So, did you get moist when you saw the shove in front of you?" Maridu was needling the newly chipped up Mr. Obst. "Come on, you got a little moist." Obst declined to comment.
