Big Blind Special for Rast

Level 12 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Elio Fox opened to 50,000 from under the gun and was called by Johannes Becker in the hijack, Ryan Riess in the small blind and Brian Rast in the big blind. On the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, the action checked to Fox who continued for 75,000. Becker folded while both Riess and Rast called.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and Riess led out for 200,000. Rast smooth-called and Fox quickly let go of his hand. The river was the {k-Hearts} and Riess opted to check with three hearts on the board. Rast moved in a bet of 325,000 and Riess paid him off. Rast turned over {7-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a straight and Riess was unable to beat it.
