Over and Out for Obst
![[user141292]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
In what was clearly a "vomit-in-mouth" moment, James Obst just ran his pocket kings into the pocket aces of Erik Seidel.
James Obst opened the action, making it 9,000 preflop and Sam Trickett made the call. Erik Seidel than bumped it up to 30,000, and Obst decided to jack it up even further to 66,000. This got Trickett to fold, but Seidel quickly tossed out more brown chips making it 105,000 total. Being the players only have thirty seconds to act, Obst didn't waste any time announcing he was all in. Seidel called almost as quickly, and the cards were revealed.
It was 
for Seidel, and 
for Obst. The flop, turn and river would bring Obst no miracles, as the board was dealt out 
. Trickett had a bit of a laugh saying he should have called with his pocket fours.
Obst was all smiles on the outside as he walked off, but we'd guess he was crying on the inside, being the first to bust from this, the largest buy-in poker tournament in history.
Seidel on the other hand was all business as he raked in the 500,000 pot.
