Chips Changing Hands

Under the gun, Daniel Neilson came in with a raise to 5,000. Action passed to James "Andy McLEOD" Obst in the small blind, and he reraised to 22,300. Neilson moved all in, and Obst called.

Showdown:
Obst: {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Neilson: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

With a pot of 58,000 chips up for grabs, the dealer ran out the board: {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Spades}. Obst failed to improve, and he doubled up Daniel Neilson. After the dust settled, Obst was down to 15,000 while Neilson climbed close to 60,000.
