Rast Pays Off Kenney; Busts to Fraser
No-Limit Hold'em
On the tail end of a heads-up pot between Brian Rast and Bryn Kenney, the board showed 
. Rast checked and then faced a bet worth 19,000 by Kenney, which sent him into a tank. The reluctant call followed and Kenney had the best hand in 
to leave Rast with his head shaking.
Two hands later, Rast opened to 9,000 off a short stack and Chris Fraser eyeballed the chips of his table neighbor before pushing all in with a near identical stack in the small blind. Kenney forfeited the big blind and Rast instantly called.
Brian Rast: 
Chris Fraser: 
The 
flop kept Rast in the lead but Fraser picked up additional outs on the 
turn. Sure enough, the 
fell on the river to give Fraser a wheel and the stacks were counted. Rast had 94,500 and was covered by a mere 1,500, and eliminated.
