Obst Starts Out Swinging, MacPhee Enters
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
We just saw a board of 
on which two players checked to James Obst, one of Australia's most prolific online players, and he bet 5,700.
After a bit of tanking, Obst got two folds and picked up another pot to boost his stack to right around 84,000.
Right after winning this hand, Obst welcomed a very tough opponent as Kevin MacPhee sat down.
MacPhee, winner of the most recent WSOP Europe Main Event and previous EPT Berlin winner, starts with a fresh stack worth 30,000 on his way to a possible first live cash in Australia.
