Obst Picks Off Wattel

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Wattel: {K-}{3-}{Q-} / {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}
James Obst: {Q-}{J-}{6-} / {J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

Picking up the action on sixth street, Mike Wattel led out with three spades on his board. James Obst, whose board ran three hearts, called.

Wattel bet on seventh street again and Obst threw in one chip, calling.

Wattel first wanted to muck his hand but then he reluctantly showed just ace high. Obst turned up two pair, queens and jacks, and scooped the pot.

Yu Keeps Blasting

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Yu has been involved in several big pots since the start of today's play. He just played another big three-way pot, tangling with Joseph Cappello who completed and Scott Seiver who made it two bets. Yu three-bet with the {9-Hearts} and Cappello stuck around. Seiver placed in one extra bet and both Yu and Cappello called.

The next betting round got checked to Yu who spiked a second heart and fired. Both of his opponents matched the price and Yu blasted another shell when his board remained suited on fifth. McKenna paused for about a minute, counted his stack, and then decided that it was the right time to escape. Seiver called.

Yu tossed in one more bet on the river and Seiver quickly released his hand.

"What was your last card, Ben?"

"King of diamonds," Yu offered.

Joseph Cappello: {X-}{X-} / {5-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} - fold
Scott Seiver: {X-}{X-} / {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} / {X-}
Ben Yu: {X-}{X-} / {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades} / {X-}
