Obst Back Over Three Million
Stud Hi-Lo
James Obst: A?5?2?/2?Q?8?8?
Nacho Barbero: Q?6?5?/7?3?Q?10?
James Obst defended his bring-in to a completion from Nacho Barbero, then check-called a bet from Barbero on fourth street.
After taking over the betting lead on fifth street, he bet that street as well as sixth, getting calls both times from Barbero.
On seventh, Obst bet a final time, prompting Barbero to stand and examine his opponent's board more closely. He shuffled his hole cards in his hands and bemoaned the fact that he started seven-six-five-three on fourth, suggesting he didn't have a low and his high hand was marginal.
After some further thought, Barbero literally kissed his chips goodbye and tossed them in. Obst showed his two pair of eights and deuces to beat Barbero's pair of queens to scoop the pot.
