Rast Wins a Huge Pot To Soar Up The Chip Counts

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Brian Rast is now up there at the top of the chip counts after a massive pot went his way to take his total to 135,000.

Rast's now-busted opponent checked to him on a {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board and with over 40,000 already in the pot, Rast moved all in and his opponent called.

Rast's {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} had flopped top set and then improved to a full house. His opponent had {10-}{10-} in his hand for a very expensive second best hand.

From the cutoff, Joe Ebanks opened with a raise to 1,400 and was called by the player on the button, Jeffrey Palarino in the small blind and David "Bakes" Baker in the big blind.
