Obst Spikes River to Eliminate Chidwick

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick

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: AA64 All in
James Obst: KK85

Things were looking good for Chidwick as the JQ4 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.
