Earlier this series, James Obst won his first bracelet and $265,138 in the $10,000 Razz Championship. Against Shaun Deeb and Jesse Martin, Obst had to navigate through a sea of high cards to win in the lowball game.
On fifth street, Obst bet with the best board, Deeb called, and Martin tank-called despite the two kings. Obst continued on sixth street and got both players along again. On seventh street, Obst bet, Deeb folded, and Martin tank-called.
Obst showed 
for an eight-seven-five. Martin sighed and flashed 
for the inferior eight-seven-six.
