Obstein Busts One

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A player moved all in for 136,000 from early position and Aaron Obstein called from the button. The blinds released and the cards went on their backs.

Seat 8: {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Obstein: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Spades} to give Obstein the pot with ace high. Obstein, who chopped Event #3 on Sunday for $4,000, is making another nice run in this one.

Dinner Break

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We've reached our first dinner break of Event #5. The players will be back in 45 minutes refreshed and ready to play down to a champion. We will have full chip counts for you at the end of the break.

After the remaining 30 players redrew to the final three tables, the cards are back in the air.

Khajavi Nearing 1 Million

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Sahar Khajavi busted Johnathan Cardenas shortly after dinner and now is close to a million after sending Brian Burns to the rail. Khajavi opened from the cutoff and Burns shoved for 106,000 from the big blind. Khajavi called and was in trouble with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} against Burns' {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, but the {J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board gave her the winning full house.

Brown Busts Pachla

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Alicia Pachla, one of the more animated and energetic players at the Seneca Poker room, reshoved for 181,000 from the big blind after Aaron Brown opened to 70,000 from middle position. Brown briefly thought it over before announcing a call and it was off to the races.

Pachla: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Brown: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Pachla was unable to connect on the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} board and she graciously wished her opponents good luck before heading to the cage.
