The last thing Ober said in IRC:

15:00 *** Obertray has joined #flopturnriver
15:01 <Obertray> hey all ... I am checking out ... gl with ur lives
15:01 *** Obertray has quit IRC (Quit)

It's a shame to see him go. Although he wasn't a prolific poster he was definitely one of the best MTT players on FTR.
