Obst Goes Big
Level 18
James Obst opened to 65,000 from early position and was called by Daniel Alaei in the cutoff.
Obst checked following the 3?6?Q? flop and then called after Alaei bet 75,000.
The 9? turn saw Obst check for a second time, prompting Alaei to bet again, this time sizing up to 340,000. Obst made the call.
On the A? river Obst took over the betting lead, pushing a hefty 600,000 into the middle. Alaei considered for some time but did fold to send a healthy pot to Obst.
