Obst Gets a Huge Fold from Aalvik

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

With {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} having flopped, James Obst had a bet of 4,150 in front of him in middle position, with Davis Aalvik having made it 12,000 on his left. The big blind shoved all in for 21,500 and Obst repotted to about 89,000. Aalvik tanked for about four minutes and folded {7-}{7-}.

Obst had {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} though, and he was against {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The turn brought an {8-Diamonds} to give Obst a straight but his shorter-stacked opponent survived with the {8-Hearts} river.
