Australian Pro Makes Most of Return to Poker
Though his first cash dates back to the 2009 Aussie Millions, Obst took a break from poker for several years as he took a shot at professional tennis.
Since reemerging at the 2023 WSOP, he has made six final tables and had four victories across 15 cashes. He won his second bracelet in the $10,000 Limit Seven Card Stud Championship at the 2024 WSOP and went on to win the WPT Australia Championship for $398,488 later that year.
According to PokerGO updates, the winner was determined in a hand of Badugi that saw runner-up Aaron Sacks drawing dead against Obst’s six-five dugi.
Six-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier, who won the 2023 10-Game Championship, finished seventh for $56,000 as he came short of a second PGT title.
The final table also included British pro Philip Sternheimer (4th - $140,000) and two-time bracelet winners Nick Guagenti (6th - $84,000) and Maxx Coleman (8th - $56,000), who earlier in the series won Event #5: $10,200 Mori’s Mix for $700,000.
