    Arriving at the final table fourth in chips, James “Andy McLEOD” Obst is no stranger to a final table.
    Developing his skills on the virtual felt before he was officially allowed to play poker, James literally crushed souls raking up hundreds of thousands of dollars of winnings before taking a hiatus only to come out of ‘retirement’ to continue crushing everything he played.
    Although his results are predominately live based, over the last twelve months he has been slowly notching up results away from the computer beginning with an Aussie Millions final table a year ago for an AUD$46,400 score. James then snagged a runner-up result in the $10,000 High Rollers at the Victorian Poker Championships for AUD$60,000 before falling just one place short in the pokerstars ANZPT Melbourne Main Event for AUD$124,000.
    However James would finally get his maiden live tournament victory just several weeks ago when he emerged victorious in the PokerStars APPT Sydney $15,000 High Rollers for AUD$150,000.
    A final table at the recent PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Rollers, combined with some extremely hot live and online form over the previous few months will see James be a force to be reckoned with come this afternoon as he looks to collect the biggest score – but probably not the last – of his poker career.

    GL to Obst.

    Now some quibbling about this write-up. My two big ones are your definition of the word 'literally' and that you said that his results are predominantly live based.

    I just copied and pasted that from pokernews.

    From the button, James Obst raised to 22,000. Erik Seidel defended with a call from the big blind and the flop came down . Both players checked and the turn brought the to pair the board. Seidel led with a bet of 25,000 and got raised to 66,000 by Obst. Seidel paused and then made the call.
    The river completed the board with the , double pairing the board. Both players checked and the hands were opened.
    Seidel showed the , but lost to Obst's . Obst's queen kicker played and he won the pot.

    I know Seidel is a world class poker player but why do they defend so wide from the bb against tough players?

    Not to be, lost a big flip 99 < k10 to be the short stack. Then this hand

    James Obst Eliminated in 5th Place (AUD$200,000)

    Posted 3 minutes ago by donpeters • Level 11
    From under the gun, Sam Trickett raised to 34,000. James Obst was in the next seat and reraised to 126,000. Action then folded to Tony Bloom in the big blind and he made it 275,000 to go. Trickett folded and Obst went all in for a little bit more. Bloom called.
    Obst:
    Bloom:
    The flop, turn and river ran out and that was the end of the road for Obst. He finished in fifth place and took home AUD$200,000 in winnings.

    If I could pick the brain of just one player, it would probably be Mr. Obst.
