Profile: James "Andy McLEOD" Obst
![[user92162]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Obst was Australia's number one ranked online tournament player, before he was forced into exile after being exposed as an underage player. Having turned 18, Obst returned to the virtual felt in August and quickly returned to his winning ways by tearing up over half a million dollars in tournament earnings in less then six months. According to online tournament rankings, Obst currently ranks 67th in the world.
Over the last six months, Obst has also vigorously pursued the live tournament circuit; twice finding himself shy of the money at both the AAPT Manilla, and then most recently the Main Event at the Pokerstars Carribean Adventure in the Bahamas.
With McLEOD surging at the moment, expectations are high that this could be his breakthrough live tournament.
