Obst and Pederson Each Get Half
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
James Obst raised from middle position and received a call from both the cutoff player and Arne Pederson in the big blind with all three seeing a flop of 6♠3♣Q♣.
Pederson checked to Obst who continued with a bet. The cutoff got out of the way before Pederson stuck in a check raise that Obst called to see the J♣ fall on the turn.
Both players checked through to the 8♦ river, prompting Pederson to toss out a bet that was quickly called by Obst who turned over the A♣Q♠4♦2♥ for the low while Pederson turned up the Q♦J♠10♣5♣ to take down the high.
