Rast Takes Two
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Akihiro Konishi went all in for 8,500 in under the gun. Brian Rast, in the early position, raised to 16,000 and found a caller in Lawrence Brandt in the big blind.
On the 10♥2♦8♥ flop, Rast bet 17,000, and Brandt went all in for 77,900. Rast needed a bit to think about it, but made the call in the end, sending the cards on their backs.
Akihiro Konishi: A♥9♥
Lawrence Brandt: K♥4♥
Brian Rast: A♠8♣
Konishi and Brandt were both chasing the flush whilst Rast had a pair of eights. The 10♦ turn and the J♦ river didn't change anything, allowing Rast to collect a decent pot and two bounties.
