James Obst
James Obst

James Obst shoved all in for just under 1.5 million first to act. Ming Xi announced a call in the cutoff as soon as he saw his cards. Everyone else folded.

James Obst: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Ming Xi: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}, so Obst hit his jack on the river just as he was starting to leave the table. He shrugged, smiled, and sat back down.

Chanracy Khun Eliminated in 49th Place ($156,265)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Shortly after returning to the seats, Aram Zobian raised it up to 270,000 and Chanracy Khun moved all in for just over 1.9 million from two seats over. Once the action had folded back to Zobian, he called instantly and turned over his cards.

Chanracy Khun: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Aram Zobian: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Despite flopping an ace on the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop, Khun needed running outs to remain in contention. The {8-Diamonds} turn was one of them, giving Khun two outs to improve to a superior full house. However, the {7-Spades} on the river was a blank and Khun was sent to the rail in 49th place for $156,265.

Artur Koren Eliminated in 48th Place ($156,265)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Artur Koren
Artur Koren

Artur Koren raised it up to 260,000 from the hijack and Henrik Hecklen called on the button. Out of the small blind, big stack Aram Zobian, who had been unstoppable as of lately, three-bet to 1,150,000. Koren almost instantly moved all in for around 3.1 million, which forced out Hecklen, and Zobian called.

Artur Koren: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Aram Zobian: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop instantly improved Zobian to a pair of aces and Koren stood up from his chair, turned around and grabbed his phone. Both the {4-Clubs} turn and the {2-Spades} river were blanks and the German, that now calls Vienna his home, was eliminated in 48th place for $156,265.
