Rast Doubles Through Yu

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 115,000 from under the gun with {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Ben Yu called from the big blind with {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. On a flop of {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, yu check-called a bet of 110,000 from Rast.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and Yu checked again. Rast fired another 250,000 with his two pair and Yu check-raised all in. Rast called off his remaining stack of 1,425,000 and was in great position to double up.

Rast stood up from his seat, cheering for an eight to give the maximum punishment. However, the {j-Spades} landed on the river and Rast scored a double up through Yu.
