Rast on the Rise

Brian Rast
Brian Rast

A pot had already developed and the flop had come {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Brian Rast was sitting under the gun with 3,425 pushed out in front of him — likely a raise over a post-flop bet by his opponent sitting a couple of seats over — and his opponent was responding by setting out a raise to 9,025.

Rast then made it 15,025 to go, his opponent reraised all in, and Rast called.

Rast turned over {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a set of jacks, while his opponent showed {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for top two. The turn was the {5-Spades} and river the {A-Spades}, and Rast sends a player railward here near the end of Level 2 while chipping up toward the top of the counts.
