Obst Volleys One to the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player in the small blind moved all in for around 150,000 and was called by James Obst from under the gun.
All-In Player: Q♦Q♥
James Obst: A♥K♦
It was a classic race situation as the at-risk player stood up from his seat to await the flop, which came 5♦8♥A♣. He let out a loud groan as Obst made top pair and improved to two pair on the K♣ turn.
The river came the 6♥ and Obst, who is making a triumphant return to the Main Event this year after taking several years off to pursue a tennis career, dragged in the pot while his opponent made a quick exit.
