Eslami Dips, Rast Soars Over 1.5 million
Brian Rast opened to 45,000 and Allen Kessler made the call from the button before Ali Eslami slid out a three-bet amounting to 130,000.
Both Rast and Kessler made the call as the dealer spread a 
flop which brought about a continuation-bet of 170,000 from Eslami. Rast smooth-called from a few seats over before Kessler released his hand and the 
was produced on the turn.
Taking the passive route of checking, Eslami would then be faced with a bet of just 56,000 from Rast. Eslami considered all his options before making the call as the river of the 
completed the board.
Eslami checked and Rast pushed out 193,000, which after nearly four minutes of tanking, resulted in Eslami folding his hand to slip to 265,000 while Rast climbs to 1,525,000 in chips.
