Diebold Wins Pot Off Rast

Level 22

Big O

Ben Diebold raised to 85,000 on the button and Brian Rast defended the big blind as they headed to the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. Rast opted to check and then called a bet worth 75,000 by Diebold. After the {10-Clubs} turn, Rast bet the pot for 355,000 and Diebold called after some consideration.

The {9-Spades} river completed the board and Rast reluctantly checked, as Diebold instantly checked back. "Aces up," Rast announced without revealing his cards.

"Oh my god, thank god," a very relieved Diebold said and rolled over his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a set of aces to win the pot without ever seeing Rast's cards.

Kihara Doubles Through Diebold

Level 22
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

After Ben Diebold raised to 60,000 on the button, Naoya Kihara moved all in for 750,000 from the small blind.

Action folded back to Diebold, who called.

Kihara patted and Diebold tossed a jack to the dealer to receive one card.

Kihara showed {10-}{9-}{8-}{5-}{4-}, and Diebold showed he was drawing live with {9-}{6-}{5-}{3-}.

Unfortunately for Diebold, his new card was another {j-}, giving Kihara a huge double-up, while putting Diebold on a short stack.

Rast Quickly Back Over Three Million

Level 22

Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Brian Rast checked his big blind after Naoya Kihara limped in the small.

The duo saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and checked.

On the {8-Clubs} turn, Kihara led for 30,000 and Rast called.

Kihara then sized up a bit on the {j-Diamonds} river, making it 80,000 to go, but Rast again called.

Kihara spread out {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a set of queens, but Rast then showed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a rivered Broadway straight.

Gorodinsky Jams Into Rast

Level 22

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Christopher Claassen won the big blind in the first hand back from the dinner break and it was then up to Naoya Kihara to pick a game. He usually selected A-5 Draw but pondered about it for a while.

"Now that Randy is gone, we can pick a different game," he joked and the others chimed in. Eventually, Kihara settled on PLO-8.

First up, Brian Rast opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Mike Gorodinsky potted to 260,000 from the next seat. Rast mulled it over and called, then checked the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop. Gorodinsky jammed for 375,000 and got through with it.
