Big Pot Goes to James Obst
From the cutoff, Phil Galfond opens to 24,000. Calvin Anderson raises to 36,000, Obst cold-calls from the small blind, and Galfond calls the extra bet.
Here's the fun street. Obst draws one, Galfond three, and Anderson two. Obet bets out for 12,000, Galfond raises to 24,000, and Anderson puts in the third bet for 36,000. Obst makes it 48,000 with the reraise, and Galfond and Anderson both call.
Obst is pat, while Galfond and Anderson are drawing one card. Obst bets, and both opponent call.
"Say one," Anderson hopes from Obst. But the Aussie stands pat again, while the other two are still drawing one. Action on the river checks through, and Galfond mucks his missed draw. Obst tables , and Anderson can't beat it.
After beginning the day with the shortest stack at the table, Obst is suddenly second in chips. Anderson, meanwhile, is now the short stack.
James Obst - 690,000
Phil Galfond - 390,000
Calvin Anderson - 220,000
