Rast Ships the Turn

Action folded to Brian Rast in the cutoff who opened to 4,000. The button folded but both of the blinds made the call. The players were off to a flop three ways.

The J♠Q♦5♦ flop hit the felt and action quickly checked through.

The turn brought a 3♠. The small blind checked but the big blind opted to lead for 6,000. Action was now on Rast who went deep into the tank but eventually opted to put enough chips out to cover both of the players in the blinds. The small blind snap folded but the big blind needed a moment. He thought through his options but eventually landed on laying down his hand and staying alive.

Rast dragged the pot and kept a healthy stack as they moved towards the end of late registration.
