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 J99 flop. He committed his remaining 33,000, folding out Sternheimer but getting snapped off by Wasserson.

James Obst: 9785 All in
Eric Wasserson: JJ65

Obst needed to hit quads to best Wasserson's full house, but the last nine in the deck did not appear on the 84 runout, confirming his elimination. At another table, Ben Diebold was also ridded of his final few chips.
