Bayer Doubles Through Obst
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mathias Bayer opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 17,000, which was called by James Obst on the button, and the big blind Stephen Hubbard.
After the flop came K♠3♠3♥ the action checked to Obst, who bet out 23,000. Hubbard quickly mucked, and Bayer made the call.
The turn brought the 8♣ and once Bayer checked, Obst bet out 70,000. Bayer gave it some thought, before moving all in for his stack of 203,000, and Obst made the call.
Mathias Bayer: A♠K♦K♣10♣ 
James Obst: A♣J♠6♦3♦
Bayer flopped a full house and would need to fade a three or a card to give Obst a low to scoop the pot. The river brought the 8♥ and he did just that, giving the double up to Bayer with kings-full of eights.
