Team Rast Looking for More Gold
Brian Rast, Antonio Esfandiari, Jeff Gross and Michael Phelps make up Team Rast.
The team is stacked with talent and hardware. Rast has three WSOP gold bracelets and over $20 million in tournament winnings. Esfandiari also has three bracelets, a WPT title, and over $27 million in tournament earnings. Jeff Gross has racked up over $2 million in tournament winnings and is gaining popularity as a poker streamer. He has a second-place finish in a $5,000 Shootout at the 2011 WSOP and is looking for his first bracelet.
The fourth member of the team has just over $7,000 in tournament winnings, but what he lacks in WSOP bracelets and tournament earnings he makes up for with gold medals. Michael Phelps is still relatively new to tournament poker and is looking for his first WSOP cash as part of Team Rast.
Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time with 23 gold medals and 28 total medals.
There are no breaks in this event, so each player will have to contribute if Phelps and Gross are going to win their first WSOP gold bracelets in this event.
