Obst Pulls Off a Savage Call

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

James Obst and Michael McKenna tangled in a pot which saw Obst keeping the aggression until the river. McKenna had higher cards on his board and checked to Obst on fourth, fifth, and sixth. Obst fired on all streets and McKenna was calling every bet within a second.

Then he changed his plan on the river and led out.

Obst was seen whispering for himself, with his lips reading, "What?"

Then he spent some more time processing the hand and finally tossed in calling chips.

"Sixes," McKenna announced, showing {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-} / {6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

Obst had that beat with a pair of tens, turning up {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} / {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for a great hero call.

"Nice hand, James," Yordan Petrov complimented Obst.
