Brian Rast: XxXx / Q♣A♥K♠K♥ / Xx
Picking up the action on fourth street, Matthew Ashton bet with an open pair of eights and was called by Brian Rast. Fifth street gave Rast more paint and he called another bet by Ashton before gaining the lead on sixth street with a pair of kings. Rast checked and then called a bet by Ashton.
On seventh street, Rast checked once more and Ashton quickly bet, sending his opponent into the tank. Ultimately, Rast tossed the superior open board into the muck and Rast won the pot without showdown.
