Obst Doubles with Queen-High

Grant Levy limped from under the gun and James Obst popped it up from the button. Levy made the call.

The flop landed {4-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Levy checked to Obst, who bet out. Levy then check-raised him, putting Obst all in. Obst chuckled and swore very quietly to himself. Pot committed, he called for his tournament life holding just queen-high with {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. He remarkably found himself in front as Levy showed {J-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a bare flush draw.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and river {5-Hearts}. Obst doubled through Levy and both players are now on about 45,000 chips each.

The river was a repeat {3-Clubs} and Levy led for 8,000. Portaro called and Levy tabled {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for trips, but Portaro showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for the broadway straight!

Portaro recovers to 96,000 with Levy back to 66,000.

Grant Levy raised to 8,000 and David Bach made the call from the cutoff for his last 4,000 chips. James Obst also called from the small blind.

The board of {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades} was checked until the river by the two live players before Levy fired 8,000, which forced Obst out of the pot.

Levy tabled {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and Bach's {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} were tossed into the muck. Bach departs in 8th place for AU$4,200 and we're down to seven!

Bruno Portaro had limped in from under the gun before Zach Gruneberg made it 8,000 to go. David Bach called in the big blind as did Portaro.

The {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop was checked to Gruneberg, who fired out a bet of 4,000. Bach then check-raised to 8,000 with both opponents making the call.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Bach led out for 8,000. Portaro folded and Gruneberg called. The river was the {3-Diamonds}. Bach slowed down and checked to Gruneberg, who made the 8,000 bet. Bach called, but couldn't better Gruneberg's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for the rivered straight.

Gruneberg is now up to 180,000. Bach is on life support with only 6,000 chips.

Zach Gruneberg
Zach Gruneberg
Zach Gruneberg has started the final table well after collecting a few early pots. He's taken chips from Bruno Portaro and David Bach in small pots - although small pots with the blinds at 4,000/8,000 are still very significant.

He's chipped up to 140,000 chips.
