Jun Obara Eliminated in 12th Place ($256,000)
Level 22
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Jun Obara made it 250,000 from under the gun and called when Adrian Mateos made it 700,000 from the cutoff.
The dealer fanned the K♣10♣5♠ flop and Obara check-called for 425,000. There was 2,550,000 in the pot on the 9♣ turn and Obara, who had 2,300,000 behind, checked. Mateos jammed as the bigger stack,
Obara mulled over his options, using timebanks before settling on a call.
Jun Obara: K♦Q♦
Adrian Mateos: 10♦10♠
Obara top pair was behind middle set but he was still live to the straight. Unfortunately for Obara, the 5♦ river confirmed his departure instead.
