Ryan Bownds (in a previous event)
Ryan Bownds (in a previous event)

James Obst had just three-bet to 11,600 when he was faced with a four-bet jam from Ryan Bownds. The total was around 70,000 which had Obst covered.

Obst went into the tank for over a minute before finally making the call with 49,000 behind.

Bownds: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Obst: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, improving Bownds to two pair, which was enough to take down the pot and eliminate Obst from the tournament.
