Level 3

Limit Hold'em

"Hey Bruno, must be fun playing with these two great players," Michael Mizrachi's brother Eric shouted out to Bruno Fitoussi from the rail, referring to Michael and Daniel Negreanu.

"What about the others? That's not nice," Michael replied.

"Daniel won it last year? You still have two more to go to catch Mike," Eric added.

On the Q44 flop, Rast checked to Kyte who continued for 33,000, and Rast called.

On the 5 river, Rast checked for a third time to Kyte who put forward a bet of 132,500, leaving himself just 5,000 back. Rast went deep into the tank as this amount represented the vast majority of his remaining chips.

"If I don't fold this hand then I don't really fold anything," Rast lamented.
