The Barnacle
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Aaron Obstein has been short stacked for the past four and a half hours at least.
But like a barnacle sticking to the side of the boat, you just can't get rid of this guy.
He has a reputation for playing the short stack like a ninja, waiting patiently for big hands and even laying them down when the timing is not right. As seen when he folded queens an hour ago despite being down to 25,000 in chips. Ray LaRouche had aces in the hand and Obstein seem to sniff it out somehow.
Moments ago he picked up a hand he could not fold, however. This time he got it in with the aces to double up to 80,000. Now he's going nowhere for real.
