Brian Rast opened the button to 70,000 and Allen Kessler made the call from the big blind before both players checked the {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop.

Kessler fired out 95,000 when the {6-Diamonds} landed on the turn with Rast making the call as the {6-Hearts} fell on the river. Kessler pushed out 150,000 and Rast made the call before folding when Kessler tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a full house.

As Kessler raked in the pot to move into the chip lead with 1,835,000, Rast slipped to 1,610,000 in chips.
