Rast Defends, Rast Wins
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Will Failla opened the action to 3,200 from middle position and the action folded to Brian Rast in the big blind who defended.
The 10♠7♠Q♠ monotone flop was checked by Rast and Failla quickly put out a bet of 3,500. Rast thought for a bit and made the call.
The 8♥ rolled off on the turn and both players checked. The river came a K♠ and now Rast turned the pressure up on the four flush board by betting 6,500. Failla went into the tank for only a moment but eventually mucked his cards.
Rast dragged the pot and has a healthy chip stack halfway through the day.
