Obst Sends Novotny to the Rail
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Thomas Novotny moved all in from early position with a shove for about 500,000. Next to act was James Obst and he moved all in over the top for about 2,350,000 total. Action folded around to the blinds where Phillip Mighall tanked for quite some time before releasing his hand. The big blind folded as well so Obst and Novotny headed to a showdown.
James Obst: 
Thomas Novotny: 
The board ran out 
and with his ace-king kickers to the board, Obst earned the pot to move to almost three million while Novotny hit the rail.
