Brian Rast Builds a Lead, Bluffs it Away

Brian Rast built up a two-to-one chip lead during the early stages of the heads up match against Pascal Lefrancois. He doubled Lefrancois up on a hand where he three-bet preflop with {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Lefrancois kicked things off by raising to 19,000 holding {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Rast three-bet to 55,000. Lefrancois called and flopped top pair when the board came {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Rast bet 44,000 and Lefrancois called leaving about 230,000 behind. The turn was the {5-Spades} and Rast bet big enough to put Lefrancois all in.

"I have to call," he said and called.

Lefrancois won the hand and suddenly he had the two-to-one chip lead.
