Hand #209

Brian Rast had the button. He raised to 240,000 and Phil Hellmuth moved all in. Rast folded.

hand #210

Hellmuth had the button. He called and Rast raised to 400,000 total. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Rast bet 345,000 and Hellmuth moved all in. "All right, I call," was the reaction from Rast.

Rast: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Hellmuth: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Not only did Hellmuth have a flush draw, but both of his cards were live. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and kept Rast in front. One more card to go...

The river was dealt the {2-Spades} and Rast was able to hold in order to double up.

"We will, we will, Rast you!" chants began ranging from his cheering section.

Rast went over to his cheering section of the stands and asked, "Who has a beer? I want a sip."

Rast doubled to over five million in chips.
