Obst Charges Ahead on Secondary Table
Level 20
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Talal Shakerchi won a pot off Hal Rotholz when he made a ten-eight, as Rotholz exposed a paired seven after a checked down final draw.
Shakerchi then lost some chips to James Obst before Obst raised the button and table short stack Daniel Alaei called out of the big blind. Alaei discarded two versus one and check-called a bet. On the second draw, Alaei discarded two versus one again and then check-folded to another bet. Obst flashed a number two before collecting the pot.
Shakerchi lost more chips to Obst when he discarded three and two against a patted second draw of Obst, who gained further ground on the secondary table.
