"It's honestly just insane. It's happened too quick to process it," Obst told reporters after coming out on top. "I'm thankful for all the support that my friends showed off and got in the photos with me, and everyone who's reached out afterwards to congratulate me. Yeah, just feeling fantastic."
Obst entered the final day with the chip lead among the final six. Dillan Patel (6th - $82,168) and Matthew Wakeman (5th - $108,264) lost preflop coin flips early to narrow the field to four.
This event ended up with a $1,984,126 prize pool which was paid out amongst the top 50 finishers. Among those who ran deep included bracelet winner Angel Guillen (47th), 2023 main event third-place finisher Daniel Neilson (17th), and 2024 Mystery Millions champion Malcolm Trayner (8th).
Obst has recorded 14 cashes since last summer, including a fourth place finish in the 2023 World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players Championship and a win in this year's $10,000 seven card stud championship for his second career bracelet.
