With the final board showing Spade ADiamond 9Club 9Heart QDiamond K and about 10K already in the pot, the big blind bets 15,000, and Jun Obara moves all in from UTG+1.

The big blind has 15,800 left behind, and he goes into the tank for a very long time. Long enough that you would usually expect somebody to call for a clock, but nobody does.

Suddenly and without warning, the big blind puts his remaining chips into the pot to call all in for 30,800 with Club JDiamond 10 for an ace-high straight.

But Obara turns over Club ASpade 9 to win the pot with a flopped full house, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.

Jun Obara  –  200,000  (500 bb)
