Paasonen Doubles through Rast

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Mika Paasonen announced a pot-sized raise for 70,000 from middle position and Brian Rast reraised to 120,000 on Paasonen's direct left. Action folded back around to Paasonen who went all in for his remaining 6,000. Rast flung in a call.

Rast: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Paasonen: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}, which actually improved Paasonen's chances with an open-ended straight draw even though Rast caught a set.

The turn came a {A-Spades} and the river brought a {8-Spades}, filling Paasonen's straight and doubling him up to approximately 260,000.
