James Obst Eliminated in 8th Place ($48,300)
Level 24
: Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Ben Lamb raised and James Obst called all-in out of the big blind for the 170,000 he had left behind. Brad Ruben called out of the big blind and they headed to the K♣10♥8♠ flop. Ruben check-called a bet by Lamb and they checked the 4♠ turn.
After the 7♥ river, Ruben check-folded and the cards were turned over.
James Obst: K♠Q♥8♣7♣
Ben Lamb: A♦A♠J♠9♥
Obst had been ahead on the flop with two pair but the straight of Lamb sent the Aussie to the payout desk in 8th place for $48,300.
"At least I get to play the Razz," he joked, referring to the next Championship Event the following day.
