Rast Gets an All-In Through; Mateos and Chen Collide in Big Pot

Level 8 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Brian Rast moved all-in for his remaining 400,000 in chips after early and middle position calls from Phil Hellmuth and James Chen. Both would ultimately fold, giving Rast some much-needed chips.

Rast, Hellmuth and Chen would be involved in the next hand, as well, this time with the addition of Adrian Mateos. Mateos raised to 50,000 from early position and was called by Chen in middle position, Rast in late position and Hellmuth in the big blind.

Hellmuth check-folded to a bet of 65,000 from Mateos on a flop of 710A, but both Chen and Rast called.

Mateos continued applying pressure on the 2 in the form of 285,000 and was again called by Chen. Rast folded.

The rolls reversed on the A river, as it would be Chen betting 700,000, nearly enough to put Mateos all-in, after being checked to by Mateos. Mateos quickly folded.
