All's Quiet, Until Rast Fills Up

Level 23

Hand #5

Matt Glantz had the button, Phil Hellmuth opened to 130,000 from under the gun, and all players folded.

Hand #6

Brian Rast had the button, Matt Glantz opened to 150,000 from the cutoff, and all players folded.

Hand #7

George Lind had the button, Minh Ly opened to 125,000 from middle position, Brian Rast three-bet to 355,000 from the cutoff. Ly called.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, and both players checked again.

The {4-Hearts} fell on the river, Ly checked a third time, and Rast fired 735,000. Ly tanked for nearly three minutes, grabbed enough chips to call, and slid them in the middle.

Rast tabled {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

"I told you I never bluff," Rast said.

Ly mucked, and Rast raked in the pot.
