Sternheimer Picks Up Aces For a Massive Double Off Obst

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Philip Sternheimer raised to 85,000 in the cutoff and James Obst three-bet to 285,000 in the small blind. Sternheimer then moved all in for 1,050,000 and Obst snap-called.

"Whoa, we have a big one here," tablemate Michael Korody said as they went to reveal their cards.

Philip Sternheimer: A♥A♠K♣7♦ All in
James Obst: A♣Q♠10♠8♣

Sternheimer hit the last ace in the deck on the A♦5♦3♦ flop to make to top set, while the rest of the board ran out 9♥2♣ to also give him a low and a double up.

Obst dropped a few more chips the next hand when he raised to 70,000 on the button and Korody called in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♥9♣4♣ flop and Obst bet another 70,000 on the 9♦ turn. Korody called to the Q♣ river, where Obst bet 175,000.

"I call. I have the nut flush," Korody said, turning over A♣K♥7♣4♥ as Obst mucked. "I didn't even realize I had the flush until I looked back at the board. I almost folded," Korody admitted.
