Obara Ousts a Player and Adds to Big Stack

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

On the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop, the small blind led out with a bet which was called by Jun Obara in the cutoff.

The small blind player then check-called a bet of 4,100 from Obara on the {a-Clubs} turn

The {7-Spades} came on the river and it turned out to be exactly what Obara wanted to see. Obara put all his chips in after being checked to and the small blind player thought about it and eventually called for his stack of around 27,000.

Obara showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to scoop the pot with a straight while his opponent mucked.
