Shak Makes Obst Break a Better Ten, Leaves Him on Fumes
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 4,500 ante
Dan Shak raised to 7,500 and faced a three-bet from James Obst on the button to 25,000. Shak jammed for around 105,000 and Obst made the call.
Shak stood pat which sent Obst into the tank to decide if he needed to break his hand and draw to a better low. After a few minutes, he decided to draw one.
Dan Shak: 10♥8♦6♥5♦4♦
James Obst: 8♠5♣3♣2♠
Once the hands were up, it was clear that Obst had broken a better ten and was now drawing to beat Shak's ten-eight low. Unfortunately for Obst, he drew the 3♥ to pair his three and send the pot to Shak, leaving himself with half a big blind.
