Chopped Straight Turns Sour For Rast

Brian Rast opened the button to 10,000 only to have Ayaz Mahmood three bet from the big blind.

Rast made the call to see a {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop fall and Mahmood fire out 25,000. Rast made the call as the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn and Mahmood checked to Rast.

Rast opted to fire out a 78,000-chip bet only to have Mahmood move all in. Rast made the call and we were off to a showdown.

Rast: {10-Spades}{3-Spades}
Mahmood: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

With both players holding a queen-high straight, but Mahmood holding a flush draw, the dealer would burn and turn the {4-Diamonds} on the river to see Mahmood double through to 925,000 as Rast slips to just 35,000 in chips.
