We saw more than 5,500 in the pot and no flop to be found, with Brain Rast facing what looked to be an all-in bet of 11,625 by Ben Hamnett. Rast stood to count out the wager, and cut the appropriate amount of chips from his already doubled stack.
After a minute or so of thought, Rast plunked in the excised stack turned over his 
. That's when Rast discovered that Hamnett, who you may remember as the winner of the 2012 World Poker Tour Borgata Poker Open Main Event ($818,847), still had a thousand or so chips remaining behind his water bottle.
"I put him all in then," said Rast, apparently having placed more than enough in the pot for such a raise anyway. "I didn't see the extra chips though."
With Rast's overpair already tabled, Hamnett could not have liked calling off with his 
, but he was pot committed at this point and his last chips went into the middle.
Flop: 
Just like that, the deck delivered for Hamnett, and when the turn (
) and river (
) brought no third ten on board, Rast was forced to ship half of his stack across the table.
