No-Limit Hold'em

Albert Daher raised to 3,000 from the cutoff, James Obst three-bet to 12,000 from the small blind, and Daher called. Obst checked on the {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Daher bet 11,500, and Obst called.

On the {7-Spades} turn, Obst check-called a 27,000 bet from Daher. The river completed the board with the {Q-Hearts} and Obst checked a third time. Daher moved all in for slightly more than Obst's remaining stack of 77,700.

The razz champion spent minutes in the tank before making the call for his tournament life.

Daher: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Obst: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

Daher's big bluff was unable to fold out Obst's second pair and left him behind with 16,500 in chips.
