We picked up with the action on fourth street to see both Brian Rast and an opponent check to receive their fifth street cards. Rast paired sixes on fifth and led out with a bet. His opponent called and did the same on sixth street.

Rast checked his final down card on seventh and shot out one final bet. His opponent thought for some time before ultimately deciding to release his cards. Rast was awarded the pot and now has about 5,500 in chips.
