The Cloud and The Croc

James "Andy McLeod" Obst has a stack looking a lot healthier than that of Billy "The Croc" Argyros, especially after the following hand played out.

Obst raised to 750 from late position and managed a call from Argyros in the big blind before the flop fell {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Obst conitnued his aggression with a 1,150-chip bet after Argyros checked. A call would see the {9-Diamonds} hit the turn and again The Croc checked to Obst. This time it was 2,350 from Obst, enough to send Argyros' hand to the muck.

A few of the players at the table said that Obst should show his hand, and, while under no obligation, he quickly flashed the {a-Diamonds}.
