After James Obst opens and finds no callers, the next hand goes the opposite direction. From under the gun Obst raises again to 100,000, two spots over button player Matthew Wakeman three-bets all in, big blind Daniel Murphy snap-shoves with a stack well covering Wakeman, and Obst gives up his bet. At the showdown, it’s a flip.
