Rast Only Looks at One
Level 13
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas moved all in from the small blind. "I only had to look at one. Let the other be a surprise," Brian Rast said as he called for 270,000 in the big blind, showing the A♦. "You can slide the other one if you want," he said to Tamasauskas.
"Let's wait for the river," Tamasauskas joked, but the dealer made Rast reveal both before turning over the flop.
Brian Rast: A♦A♣ 
Vladas Tamasauskas: K♥Q♣
Rast had woken up with aces, and the A♠J♠9♣ flop gave him top set, while Tamasauskas picked up a straight draw. The 5♣ turn was safe for Rast, while the river was the Q♥ and he doubled up.
