Tough Start for Obst
![[user340093]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Nível 6
: 400/800, 100 ante
James Obst entered a few moments ago, but there was no laziness behind his late arrival. The Australian mixed-game wizard was busy playing in the Brazilia Room. It wasn't in anything but pure no-limit hold'em, albeit six-handed. Widely consired as one of the toughest tournaments on the WSOP schedule, the $5,000 Six-Handed event is now down to the official final table.
Obst bubbled the star-studded finale, walking away in seventh place for a $57,550 payday and important points in the WSOP Player of the Year race.
He immediately jumped to the $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo, but so far, it doesn't seem that Obst will be on his way to another top-10 finish. His stack took a hit right away.
Three ways to fifth street, Obst and another player called a bet. Obst then spiked a second king to improve his board to a pair, and he led out on the sixth, forcing one fold and one call, from a player who just paired his fives.
James Obst: 
/ 
Opponent 1: / 
Opponent 2: / 
(folded on the sixth street)
Obst check-called on seventh street but heard a very unpleasant word in his situation: "Flush." His opponent rolled over 
for a ten-high flush, and Obst turned over his board, sending the cards face-down to the muck.

Tehan is Not Quitting
Nível 6
: 400/800, 100 ante
Joe Tehan was nearly knocked down, but he put his remaining chips in at the right time. It came with a statement: "If I lose this hand, I'm quitting this tournament," Tehan said with an innocent accuracy.
But it wasn't this time. Tehan faced two opponents who battled through the remaining streets. They made it to the showdown, and Tehan knew he needed to beat both.
Joe Tehan: / 
Player One: 
Player Two: 
Tehan hoped on fifth street, "Maybe," and his voice got little louder on sixth street when he paired up. "Maybe!"
It worked out for the 2014 runner-up, who had queens in the hole, tripling up with . One of his rivals showed 
for jacks up, and the other showed his hand only briefly before mucking.
