Obst Adds Some, Climbs Near the Starting Stack

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

Badugi

Last year's runner-up James Obst was in a heads-up pot, patting in position after his opponent drew two.

Obst bet-called before the second draw where both players tapped. His opponent checked again and Obst fired, earning a call.

Both patted and tapped, allowing the showdown. Obst's rival had a {A-}{Q-}{4-}{3-} badugi but Obst had that beat with his {10-}{8-}{7-}{3-} badugi.
