Obara Halts Zamani Domination
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jun Obara attempted to raise from the small blind, but put in only a single chip, meaning that the action was deemed a call, Martin Zamani then checked his option in the big blind.
Action was picked back up on the turn, with 650,000 chips in the pot. The board read J♣A♣Q♥3♠ and Obara bet out, only to see Zamani shove with a hugely covering stack. Without much thought, Obara made the call.
Jun Obara: A♦10♦ 
Martin Zamani: Q♦3♦
Zamani was way in the lead, but didn't see his stack cross the eight-figure mark as the A♥ river gave his opponent trips, saving Obara in the event.
