Obst Eliminated

[user67765]

The man they affectionately call "Andy", James Obst has been eliminated from the tournament.

Neil Channing opened with a raise from under the gun to 725, before Obst moved all in next to act for an additional 3,100. The table folded around before Channing deliberated and made a reluctant call.

Channing: {K-Spades}

Obst:

The flop fell {K-Hearts}

and Obst stood from his chair and started walking out the door as the {K-Diamonds}

hit the turn and the {5-Diamonds}

on the river. Obst is out as Channing now holds over 40,000 in chips.

Lackovic Leads As Behling Crashes

[user67765]

With the flop reading {9-Hearts}

Nico Behling led out with a bet of 2,400 before Nik Lackovic popped it up to 10,400. Behling thought for a moment before moving all in but Lackovic beat him into the pot with a call as he flipped {A-Clubs}

for trip queens. Behling would need help with his {K-Hearts}

for a bare flush draw.

The turn was an interesting {A-Hearts}

. It gave Behling the flush but ended the hand as Lackovic had made a full house with queens full of aces. The river was a meaningless {3-Spades}

and Lackovic doubled to 55,000 to leave Behling on only 12,000.

A few moments later the two were at it again. This time it was a blind battle with Behling shoving from the small blind with {9-Diamonds}

but running into Lackovic's {K-Spades}

in the big blind.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}

and Behling goes from hero to zero in a matter of minutes as Lackovic storms out to a massive 72,500 chip stack!

and had Wong's {A-Spades}

in bad shape.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}

as Levy is in the thick of things with 24,000. Wong slipped down to 22,000.
