Obst in Overdrive

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We picked up the action on the turn in a heads-up pot as the board read {7-Spades} {5-Clubs} {3-Spades} {5-Spades}, and there was close to 50,000 in the pot. James Obst was first to act, and he led out with 36,000. Andrew Robl took his time considering before making the call, and things were getting serious as the {6-Hearts} landed on the river.

Obst picked up more chips and made a final bet of 95,000, drawing a long gaze from Robl. He looked pretty pained as he tanked over the decision, and it would be at least three or four minutes before he uncapped his cards and returned them to the muck.

"I'll give you $100 to see your hand," Robl tried. Obst smirked and shook his head, but Robl reached back and pulled out his wallet. "Two hundred." Still a no, so he tried one last time. "Three hundred bucks?" Obst wasn't having it, sending his cards back to the dealer face-down as he chips his way up over 600,000.
