Limits: 25,000-85,000

Bruno Furth made it 75,000 from the cutoff and Brian Rast defended out of the big blind.

When the 4♦ hit the turn, Rast thought for a few moments before betting 350,000 with roughly 100,000 behind. Furth jammed and Rast made the call to put himself at risk.

Brian Rast: J♦10♦4♣3♠ All in
Bruno Furth: 8♣7♠7♣5♦

Furth was in the lead with his set, but Rast had straight and flush possibilities with one card to come. However, the 6♠ rolled off on the river to give Furth a straight, and Rast was out in 23rd place.
