We just watched Giorgio Medici make a very strong play on a board to take down a handy little pot. In the hand in question, one player checked before Medici bet 20,000. It was then on the button player and he bet 57,000. The other remaining player folded and it was back to Medici. Almost immediately Medici shoved all in, having his opponent well covered. Just as quickly as Medici bet, his opponent folded and the pot was sent to Medici
It seems that Brian Rast can't run over *everybody.*
Action began on Greg Mueller, who opened to 22,000 from the button. The player in the small blind folded and Brian Rast 3-bet to 51,000 from the big blind. Mueller called.
Flop:
Rast led right out for 41,000 and Mueller fell hard into the tank. He shuffled his chips and deliberated for a good three minutes before finally sliding out a call.
The turn brought a and this time Rast checked. Mueller pondered a bit before announcing he was all-in for about 200,000 total. Rast thought on it for a while, but eventually relinquished his hand.
Rast is sitting on about a million while Mueller is at 300,000.
Brian Rast can not put a foot wrong this evening. He has just come from behind to eliminate another player from this tournament. We didn't catch all the details, but Rast had and the all-in player held and all the chips were in preflop.
The flop was not good for Rast's opponent and when the turn and river bricked out, Rast had taken down another huge pot to see his chip stack skyrocket yet again.
Brian Rast really is a chip winning machine tonight. We recently watched Rast take to a flop against Arthur Morris and one other opponent. It was a raised pot and Rast and Morris were in the blinds.
Rast tapped the table on the flop and so too did Morris. Another check and the dealer would flick out a onto the felt. Rast went with a check and Morris bet out 15,000. The player behind Morris folded and the action was back on Rast.
At this point Rast piled in a bet of 78,000. Morris looked at his cards several times before opting to let his hand go and send the pot to Rast.
Scott Seiver moved up to nearly 900,000 in chips after busting an opponent. Seiver's out ran his opponent's after the board ran out .
Seiver is yet another player deep in this event with a World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Back in 2008, Seiver won Event 21: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em for over $755,000. He also has a seventh-place finish in Event 55: $50,000 Poker Player's Championship from last year where he pocketed nearly $250,000 in prize money.
