Obst On The Comeback Trail
James Obst finished 11th in this event last year, and while he has had a rough last couple of levels, his stack is now moving in the right direction again.
On a paired board of both of the players in the blinds checked it over to Obst in the cutoff. The pot was already approximately 6,500 and Obst pushed his last 6,375 into the middle.
The small blind checked and rechecked his cards between studying the board but after a minute he gave it up. The big blind looked like he wanted to commit the chips and tried to get some information from Obst verbally. The two traded some banter back and forth before the big blind decided against putting Obst at risk.
“I’ll fold my pocket nines” said the big blind flashing his hand.
Obst collected the pot and moved back up to around 12,900.
