Obst Pushes Off Fung, Then Chops With Lin

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Obst
James Obst

James Obst is keeping his tournament alive over on the feature table, defending his big blind with {k-Spades}{10-Hearts} against a 5,000 cutoff raise from Hedley Fung, who was holding {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Both players checked the {8-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop before Obst took a stab at the pot on the {q-Diamonds} turn to win the hand as Fung mucked.

A couple of hands later Obst moved all-in from the button over the top of an early position Hau Lin raise of 5,900, with the latter making a quick call.

James Obst: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Hau Lin: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

This resulted in an anticlimactic chop with both players holding ace-king and the runout coming {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Obst is sitting on a stack of 35,000 while Lin has close to the same with a stack of 32,600.
