Obst Victorious in High Rollers!
Although James 'Andy McLEOD' Obst has been eliminated from today's tournament, he has 150,000 reasons why he won't be bothered too much.
Kicking off on Tuesday with twenty-five players, the $15,300 High Rollers Event before a final table of eight was formed early Wednesday morning.
Seat | Player | Chips |
---|---|---|
1 | Jeffrey Lisandro | 56,500 |
2 | Fabian Quoss | 99,200 |
3 | In Wook Choi | 55,600 |
4 | Antonis 'Toothpick Tony' Kambouroglou | 36,900 |
5 | James 'Andy McLEOD' Obst | 129,400 |
6 | Joe Marchal | 23,100 |
7 | Jovo Skekic | 83,700 |
8 | Steve 'stevoL' Leonard | 21,700 |
With only five players receiving a piece of the prizepool, it would inevitably be Obst capturing the title after he bested Jeffrey Lisandro heads up.
Although only lasting ten hands, Lisandro found himself all in holding against Obst's on a board. The on the turn ensured victory for Obst as he keeps the title in South Australia after Jarred 'FlopNutsOnYou' Graham captured consecutive victories over the past two years.
