Rast, Lichtenberger Side by Side

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Day 1 of the Main Event is usually a minefield of home game heroes and amateurs taking their one shot at poker glory. In such a large field, it was rare for two seasoned pros to be seated at the same table.

But that's just what has happened to seven unfortunate players at one table which includes Brian Rast and Andrew Lichtenberger sitting right beside each. The two of them have more than $35 million in combined live winnings and six WSOP bracelets.

Rast would take the last small pot they played against each other. He opened to 1,200 from under the gun and action folded around to Lichtenberger in the big blind, who called to see the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Lichtenberger checked as Rast put out a bet of 2,000. "LuckyChewy" quickly mucked as round one between these two accomplished pros went to Rast.
