From under the gun+1, Daniel Neilson opens 40,000 then calls James Obst button raise of 100,000. Flop comes , Obst bets 100,000, Neilson check-raises 275,000, Obst flats, the dealer drops the turn . Neilson checks it, Obst bets 175,000, Neilson calls and the river is . Neilson checks once more, Obst shoves and well covers Neilson who tanks saying “I flopped the straight”. 

Using up a few time banks, Neilson asks Obst, “what should I do James?” Getting no movement from Obst, Neilson calls for his tournament life and shows straight. Obst affirms Neilson’s fears, full house.
