Obara Snaps with Second Pair for Tournament Life
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in the hijack opened to 1,100, the cutoff called, Jun Obara three-bet the small blind to 6,000, and only the hijack called.
On the K?Q?7? flop, Obara continued for 2,800 and the hijack called.
The turn brought the 8?. Obara slowed down with a check and then called a bet of 11,500.
The 7? came on the river. Obara checked again, and the hijack took some time before he jammed for 17,900 effective as the covering stack. Obara called almost immediately.
Jun Obara: Q?J? 
Hijack: 10?9?
Obara made the hero-call with second pair against the missed straight draw of the hijack to get the full double.
