Rast Gets the Best of Kalas

Level 20 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

After a couple of raises, Kane Kalas was all in for his last 45,000 chips and was called by Brian Rast. Kalas turned over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} but was in rough shape against Rast's {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to give both players a pair of aces but Rast's kicker was still out front. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and the river was the {6-Spades} to send Kalas to the rail and Rast advanced.

The {7-Hearts} fell on the river and Yu checked the third street. Song made it 37,000 to go and Yu folded with the words "okay, first blood to you."

Bicknell Bests Sarmiento

Level 20 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

In a three-bet pot to the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Steven Sarmiento checked and called a bet of 14,000 by Kristen Bicknell. The {q-Hearts} turn was checked and Sarmiento tank-called a bet of 42,000 on the {10-Hearts} river. Bicknell showed {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and that won the pot.

Two hands later the remainder of Sarmiento's stack were in with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Bicknell turned over the {q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board gave Bicknell a pair of treys and that saw the Canadian advance to the round of 32.

Reixach Takes Down Pock

Level 19 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Sergi Reixach and Allen Pock got all of their chips in the middle with Pock's short stack leaving him at risk. Reixach tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flopped flush and while Pock was nearly drawing dead with {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades} on the turn spelled the end to Pock's tournament and the {8-Hearts} was insignificant on the river.
