Obst Spikes River to Eliminate Chidwick
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Geoffrey Mooney limped in under the gun, and James Obst raised to 54,000 on the button. Stephen Chidwick then three-bet all in for 140,000 from the small blind. Mooney folded, but Obst called.
Stephen Chidwick: A♦A♣6♦4♥
James Obst: K♦K♣8♦5♥
Things were looking good for Chidwick as the J♣Q♣4♦ flop and 6♥ turn left Obst needing a king or a seven to win. Obst got exactly what he wanted, though, as the dealer burned and turned the K♥, to send Chidwick crashing to the rail.
