Obst Gets Short and Quadruples With Miracle River
Level 21
: Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
James Obst was left short when he folded on the flop against heads-up action between James Chen and Jason Daly, who ended up chopping the pot. That left the Aussie with one and a half big bets and he got those in via three-bet on the button. Jason Daly in the big blind called, as did initial raiser Johannes Becker from under the gun and Chen from the next seat.
On a flop of A?9?7? flop, Daly checked and Becker bet to receive two calls. The Q? turn was checked by Daly, Becker bet again and Chen now folded while Daly called. They checked down the Q? river and the cards were exposed.
James Obst: A?J?7?2?
Jason Daly: K?J?5?4?
Johannes Becker: A?9?8?3?
Both Becker and Obst had flopped two pair but the kicker saved Obst, who quadrupled up.
