Back in 2011, Brian Rast won this event for $1.7 million. As one of only two former champ still in the field (the other is David Bach), Rast is looking to join Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi on becoming just the second players to win the title twice. Unfortunately his chances of doing that just took a big hit.
We caught the action with a little over 200,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Rast was in the small blind and squaring off against Tommy Hang, who was in the big. Rast was first to act and slid out a hefty bet of 200,00 and Hang thought for about 30 seconds before announcing that he was all in for a bit over 400,000 total. Rast only had 132,000 behind and preserved it with a quick fold.

After action was brought in and Mike Gorodinsky completed, Shaun Deeb and Adam Friedman both called to see fourth street.
Gorodinsky had the lead and promptly bet, which inspired Deeb, who had paired, to fold and Friedman to call. Friedman proceeded to call bets on fifth and sixth.
"I'm definitely not winning right now," Friedman said headed into seventh. Gorodinsky ended up checking and Friedman squeezed out his last card before declaring, "Ten."
He then tabled for a 10-8-7-5-A low and the win.
