James Obst

James Obst limped in from the small blind. Daniel Aharoni then raised to 180,000 in the big blind, which Obst three-bet to 540,000. Obst was not done yet, and four-bet to 1,620,000. Aharoni just called.

Obst had about 1,000,000 behind, which he pushed in on the K♥K♦4♦ flop. Aharoni snap-called with the covering stack.

James Obst: A♦J♠10♣3♠2♦ All in
Daniel Aharoni: A♥A♣K♣Q♣3♦

Aharoni's flopped trips had Obst drawing slim, and the Australian 25k Fantasy pick left the stage as the 4♠ turn and Q♥ river did not bring in his flush draw.
