Obst Ousts Karita
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
James Obst opened for 20,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to a short-stacked Shoshiro Karita, who moved all in for 57,000 from the big blind. Obst called and the cards were turned up.
Obst: 
Karita: 
The 
flop paired both players but Karita stayed in the lead with a pair of aces. Unfortunately for him, the dealer burned and turned the 
to give Obst trips and a hammerlock on the hand. The 
river was not the ace that Karita needed, and he was eliminated from the tournament while Obst chipped up to 650,000.
