That Kind of Party

[user127999]

Level 10

Pot-Limit Omaha

Jason Mercier limped the small blind telling Brian Rast in the big that the most he can make it is 7,000.

"I know," said Rast. "I'm going to make it sixty-nine."

"I didn't know it was going to be that kind of party," joked Mercier, making the call as the rest of the table chuckled. The flop fell and after Mercier checked, Rast made it 9,000.

Mercier potted and Rast quickly gave up his hand.

Another Former Champ Sent to the Rail

Level 10

Pot-Limit Omaha

Back in 2011, Brian Rast won this very event for his second bracelet that summer. Rast was one of several former champs returning to action today, but like Matthew Ashton, Scotty Nguyen and two-time champ Michael Mizrachi, he finds himself watching from the rail.

In what would be his final hand, Jason Mercier opened for 4,800 and Rast three-bet to 15,000. Mercier responded with a pot-sized four bet to 48,600, Rast called, and the flop came down . Mercier, who had the big stack, simply bet pot and Rast called off for his last 82,000.

Mercier:
Rast:

Rast had a pair of sixes with a straight draw, while Mercier held aces. The turn gave Rast an added flush draw, but the red eight on the river failed to help him. Mercier's aces held and he sent Rast to the rail, which leaves 2009 $50,000 Poker Players' Champion David Bach as the last former winner remaining in the field.
