Obst Takes The Lead
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
James Obst and John Cernuto just played a big pot and the former managed to take it down. Jesse Martin completed after Nikolay Losev had the bring in and Cernuto raised. Obst three-bet and the action folded back to Cernuto who made the call.
On fourth street Cernuto bet with the high board and Obst called. On fifth Obst hit a pair and checked, Cernuto checked behind. Sixth street gave Obst two pair up and he checked to Cernuto's dangerous looking board. Cernuto bet and Obst check-raised, which got Cernuto to laugh.
Cernuto ultimately called and on seventh he called another bet when Obst threw out one more 6,000-chip bet.
