Velador Now Shortest Stack on His Table
Level 22
: Limits 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
James Obst raised and Johannes Becker called out of the big blind to then check-call a bet on the Q♦8♠4♠ flop. The 8♥ turn was checked and Becker bet the J♦ river. Becker bet and Obst reluctantly called as the former announced king-high.
Obst had that beat with the A♦J♥9♠4♦ to win the pot.
In the meanwhile, James Chen had dropped to five and a half blinds but won some back off Luis Velador. Chen check-called the K♦Q♠7♥9♥ turn and the 10♣ river was checked. He exposed the A♥K♣K♠7♠ for a set of kings and that won the pot.
