Obst Ousted

Under the gun, James "Andy McLEOD" Obst limped into the pot, and he and big blind James Frendo went to the flop.

It showed up {9-?} {3-?} {7-?}. Frendo checked, and Obst bet 1,000. Frendo put in a check-raise, making it 3,000 to play, and Obst moved all in for a total of 3,650. Frendo made the call, putting Obst at risk.

Obst: {K-?} {K-?}
Frendo: {9-?} {3-?}

Having out-flopped the young pro, Frendo had Obst's tournament life in his hands. The turn was the {6-?}, and the river paired the board, but it was another {9-?}, giving James Frendo the winning full boat.
