Rast Flushed and then Grossly Eliminated

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With approximately 60,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Brian Rast bet 33,000 from the small blind and Fabian Quoss raised to 85,000 from the hijack. Rast, who is a two-time bracelet winner, took his time before moving all in for around 260,000 and Quoss quickly called off for 253,500 total.

Quoss: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Rast: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Rast had an overpair with an open-ended straight draw, while Quoss had the same straight draw to go along with his ace-high flush draw. It was a big hand that was settled on the turn when the {6-Spades} spiked to give Quoss the flush and leave Rast drawing dead. The meaningless {Q-Spades} was run out on the river for good measure and Rast was left with just 5,000 in chips.

Two hands later, he got it in holding the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and was ahead of Jeff Gross' {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Rast, any hope of a comeback died after the board ran out {9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Meanwhile, Yevgeniy Timoshenko has been eliminated from the tournament.
