Pacheco Takes One From the Champ

Razz

Up until this tournament is over, and he doesn't defend his title, we can call Brian Rast the Poker Players Champion. He just lost a pot to Charles Pacheco in Razz but is still in good shape.

Brian Rast{x-}{x-} / {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} / {x-}
Charles Pacheco{x-}{x-} / {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} / {x-}

Rast raised it up to 1,200 on third street and Pacheco was his only caller. On fourth street the betting lead changed and Pacheco bet 1,200, Rast called. Fifth street gave Rast the best hand again, and he bet 2,400, Pacheco called. On sixth it was on Pacheco again who check-called 2,400.

Seventh street was dealt down and both players checked. Pacheco showed {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} and took down the pot.
