Level 4
: 1,000/2,000, 200 ante
Erik Seidel:

James Obst: /

James Obst held the betting lead throughout the hand but opted to check-call a bet from Erik Seidel on fourth and fifth streets.
Obst led out with a bet on sixth which left Seidel a little puzzled. He thought for a minute and then turned his cards face down and into the muck, sending the pot to Obst.
In the next hand, Obst went heads-up with Mike Matusow. Matusow's board read 
and he led out on fifth, sixth, and seventh. Obst called each time with 
showing and the two players chopped the pot.
"I missed," Matusow said after Obst called on seventh. Obst just had a pair of queens for the high but Matusow only had a pair of fours. He showed 
/
for the low hand but could not improve on his high hand.
