James Obst and Paul Khoury Clash

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

We arrived at the table to see Paul Khoury check his option from under the gun plus one on a {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop. James Obst was his opponent in the hand and tossed out 1,250 from middle position.

The bet was called before both players watched the {3-Clubs} drop on the turn. Khoury checked once again and watched as Obst splashed out 3,250 in chips. Khoury thought about his decision for almost a minute before calling the bet.

Both then opted to check the river before Obst reluctantly tabled his {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for a rivered two pair.

"It's good," joked Khoury, who tabled his {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the same hand, but fell short with the inferior kicker.
