Kupin Turns Rast Dead
PLO – PLO 8 – Big O - PLTD: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 Ante
NLFCD & 2-7 NL: 10,000/20,000, 30,000 Ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Action was picked up on the flop in a sizable pot that had initially seen Aaron Kupin open the action in the hijack and Brian Rast three-bet in the cutoff which Kupin called.
The flop rolled out 8♥7♠3♦ and Kupin checked over to Rast who bet 83,000. Kupin responded by raising to 200,000 and Rast called.
On the turn 9♦, Kupin bet 180,000 and Rast went into the tank before declaring he was all in for 529,000. Kupin immediately slammed his chips into the middle to call.
Brian Rast: A♣A♦ 
Aaron Kupin: 6♥5♥
Kupin had turned a nine-high straight, leaving Rast's aces drawing dead to win before the inconsequential 10♥ rolled off on the river. Kupin's stack grew immensely while Rast exited the tournament just shy of the tournament redraw.
