Obst Quarters Abronson
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Limits: 3,000-10,500
Luis Velador raised to 7,500 from middle position with Louis Abronson calling from the hijack. James Obst three-bet to 33,000 from the small blind, and only Abronson called.
The dealer spread out the flop of 2♣3♣K♦ and Obst bet enough to put Abronson all in. Abronson quickly called for his last 20,000.
Louis Abronson: A♣7♠5♠2♠ 
James Obst: A♥Q♣10♣5♥
Both had the same low draw and were competing for the high. The rest of the board came 6♣6♥, which meant Abronson got quartered as Obst had turned a flush to win the high.
