Wasserson Obliterates Obst's Short Stack

Level 10
James Obst
James Obst

Pot-Limit Omaha

Eric Wasserson raised to 15,000 in the cutoff. James Obst flat-called on the button, and Philip Sternheimer came along from the big blind.

It then checked to Obst on the J♦9♥9♦ flop. He committed his remaining 33,000, folding out Sternheimer but getting snapped off by Wasserson.

James Obst: 9♠7♠8♥5♦ All in
Eric Wasserson: J♠J♣6♣5♠

Obst needed to hit quads to best Wasserson's full house, but the last nine in the deck did not appear on the 8♦4♥ runout, confirming his elimination. At another table, Ben Diebold was also ridded of his final few chips.
