Rast Hits the River to Scoop Pivotal Pot
Level 25
Omaha Hi-Lo
First to act, Brian Rast raised with the Q♠6♣3♠2♣ and Matthew Ashton three-bet on the button with the A♥A♣8♠5♣. James Obst in the small blind double-checked his remaining short stack and then called with the A♦7♠5♠3♦, Rast also came along.
Three ways to the Q♦8♥6♦ flop, all players checked and that led to the J♦ on the turn. Obst now bet his nut flush and low draw, earning calls from Rast with two pair and low draw while Ashton also stuck around with his naked pair of aces.
The Q♥ fell on the river and Obst bet for Rast to raise, forcing out Ashton and earning a sigh-call from Obst to leave two opponents on the verge of elimination.
