Obara Snaps with Second Pair for Tournament Life
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 1,100, the cutoff called, Jun Obara three-bet the small blind to 6,000, and only the hijack called.
On the K♥Q♦7♣ flop, Obara continued for 2,800 and the hijack called.
The turn brought the 8♣. Obara slowed down with a check and then called a bet of 11,500.
The 7♦ came on the river. Obara checked again, and the hijack took some time before he jammed for 17,900 effective as the covering stack. Obara called almost immediately.
Jun Obara: Q♥J♠ 
Hijack: 10♥9♥
Obara made the hero-call with second pair against the missed straight draw of the hijack to get the full double.
