Brian Rast Eliminated in 10th Place ($36,526)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Joao Vieira opened for 200,000 in the hijack and Brian Rast defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥8♣5♥ and Rast pushed a stack across the line for a bet of 500,000. Vieira quickly announced a raise and Rast called off his stack of 665,000.
Brian Rast: 10♠7♠6♠7♣
Joao Vieira: K♦J♥10♦6♥
Rast had flopped top pair and a straight draw, but was going to need to catch up against the higher kicker of Vieira, who also had top pair to go with his flush draw. The 2♠ turn and 3♦ river were no help and Rast exited the tournament in tenth place.
