Obst's Main Event Dreams Obliterated
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With around 50,000 already in the pot, small blind James Obst committed his last 34,000 on the 7♠A♠J♠ flop. John Misirian was his opponent, and he reluctantly called off in the cutoff.
James Obst: 9♠9♥
John Misirian: A♦2♦
Obst needed a nine or a spade to survive, but the runout came Q♥5♥ instead, spelling the end of his Main Event
