Small Pot for Rast; Big Pot for Shakerchi
Level 23
Pot-Limit Omaha
Brian Rast made it 225,000 to go in the cutoff with the Q♥Q♣5♥2♠ and Phil Ivey called out of the big blind with the J♠9♣5♠2♣. Both checked the K♣7♥3♣ flop and the Q♦ followed on the turn. Ivey checked to Rast, who bet 375,000 and forced an instant fold from Ivey.
Limit Hold'em
James Obst then raised it up with the A♥K♣ and Talal Shakerchi three-bet the A♠10♦, picking up a call from Obst. The K♥J♦8♣ flop saw Obst check-raise and Shakerchi called to hit gin with the Q♠ turn. Obst bet his top pair and top kicker only for Shakerchi to raise.
Obst reluctantly called and check-called a bet on the K♦ river to get shown the bad news.
