Amiri Doubles Through Obst
Level 19
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
It was Honglin Jiang the instigator, opening the action for 42,000 from the cutoff. James Obst eyed up Jiang's stack and took a little time before announcing 'all-in' and shoved for 542,000.
Action folded around to Ehsan Amiri in the big blind who, from the look on his face, had a tough decision to make and he hit the think tank. Eventually, Amiri decided to roll the dice and moved all-in for 218,000 in total. Jiang quickly got out of the way and both Obst and Amiri revealed their hole cards.
Ehsan Amiri: 
James Obst: 
Amiri was the player at risk but had the dominating hand. There was a bit of a sweat for both players on the 
runout, with Amiri the man to ultimately make his flush.
