WAUKESHA - A professional poker player
entered into a plea deal Tuesday to resolve the felony charges
against him of failing to pay child support, which calls for
significant payments to the mother of his child even after the minor
turns 18.

Scott Obst, 40, pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor
failure to pay child support, saw another count dismissed and
pleaded guilty to a felony count of non-support. But if he follows
through on his three years of probation - the expected sentence -
the felony charge would be reduced to a misdemeanor, according to an
agreement signed by the parties.
