Obara Sends Aido to the Rail

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sergio Aido moved his entire short stack into the middle from the cutoff and was snap called by Jun Obara in the big blind.

Sergio Aido: A?10?
Jun Obara: K?10?

Aido, though at risk, was in an excellent spot to get a full double as he had Obara dominated. The 4?6?10? flop spelled immediate trouble for the Spaniard as Obara picked up a flush draw. That draw came in straight away on the 2? turn to leave Aido hoping for another heart on the river for the better flush. It did not happen, however, as the 3? completed the board to bring Aido's tournament to an end shortly after the dinner break.
