Buhahiov Stuns Obst on the River
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joshua Boulton raised to 20,000 in middle position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 55,000 in the hijack. James Obst then moved all in for 150,000 on the button and Boulton folded, while Buhaiov took a few minutes and eventually called to put Obst at risk.
James Obst: A♦J♣
Nazar Buhaiov: A♣10♥
Obst had Buhaiov dominated as the K♣J♦3♣ flop gave him a pair, while Buhaiov picked up a straight draw. The 3♦ turn was safe for Obst, but Buhaiov caught the Q♣ on the river to make his straight and send Obst to the rail.
