Obst's River Check-Raise Fails
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
On a hand that extended well into the break, James Obst raised to 72,000 from the small blind and Kenny Hallaert called from the big blind.
They checked to the turn of a 
board where Obst bet 75,000. Hallaert called to see the 
river. Obst checked, Hallaert bet 130,000, Obst check-raised to 650,000, and Hallaert called after about two minutes.
Obst showed 
for tens and eights, but Hallaert tabled 
for aces and eights to win the pot.
