Berman Strikes Back Against Obst

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Lyle Berman and James Obst have been going back and forth for most of the day since Berman moved to Obst's table, with Obst getting the best of it whenever we happen to catch a hand, but Berman finally took one off Obst in a more recent pot.

We caught the action after the round of betting, with close to 20,000 in the middle of the table. Berman took two, Adam Owen took two, and Obst took two as well. Berman and Owen both checked before Obst bet. Berman raised, making it two bets. Owen folded, but Obst called.

On the second draw both players took one. Berman bet and Obst called.

Both Obst and Berman stood pat on the last draw. Berman bet again, and Obst called once more. Berman showed {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for an eighty-six, and that was good to take down the pot for Berman.
