Obregon Keeps Adding Chips

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bryan Obregon and Pier Papadia were heads up on a flop of K♣A♣8♣. A massive pot of 800,000 had already been amassed and Obregon , from the big blind, check-called a 250,000 bet from Papadia from middle position.

The J♠ turn and J♦ river were then checked down and Obregon tabled A♦K♠ for two pair, aces and kings. Papadia did not have something that could beat it and mucked his cards.

One hand later, it folded to Obregon in the small blind and he put big blind David Mzareulov all in for 775,000. Mzareulov folded and Obregon stacked up some more chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 6♠3♣8♥, Joshua Payne bet 125,000 from the cutoff and Pei Li called on the button. Chris Lee, in the big blind, then raised to 525,000 and only Payne called.

The turn came the J♠ and Lee slowed down and checked. Payne then fired out 575,000 and Lee called to the Q♥ river.

He checked again and Payne moved all in, easily covering Lee's remaining 1,400,000. Lee tanked for several minutes as Payne showed the 5♣ as he took the pot.

"This is the most action table," a tablemate said.
