Obst Starts Well

Young gun James "Andy McLEOD" Obst is also off to a bright start in his first live Main Event on home soil.

Obst called bets from his opponent on all streets on a board of {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. When faced with a 6,500 chip decision on the river, Obst went into the tank for a long time and seemed unsure about whether to just call or move his entire stack into the middle. In the end he just made the call as his opponent flipped {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} for the busted straight draw, which was well behind Obst's {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a full house.

Obst is a dangerous man with chips in front of him as he is off to a great start to already sit with 30,000 chips.
