Obara Mishears, Kvisthammar Busts
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bleron Maliqi opened to 12,000 from early position, Peter Kvisthammar reraised all in from the cutoff for 138,000, Jun Obara four-bet all in to 461,000 from the button and the blinds folded with the action back on Maliqi.
Maliqi announced call but looked confused as Kvisthammar and Obara flipped their hands over. Maliqi had thought that Obara had just called the all-in from Kvisthammar, and not reraised himself.
Once the confusion died down the players showed their hands with both Kvisthammar and Obara at risk to the big stack of Maliqi.
Peter Kvisthammar:
Jun Obara:
Bleron Maliqi:
The board ran out and Kvisthammar was eliminated. Obara's trip kings scooped both pots and he is now one of the chip leaders in the room.
