Rast Out Runs Chalot

Erick Torres

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Benjamin Chalot opened to 23,000 from the hijack before Brian Rast chose to jam for his remaining 119,000 from the cutoff. Chalot called to put Rast at risk.

Brian Rast: K♥J♦ All in
Benjamin Chalot: A♣9♣

Chalot held the slight edge going into the runout, but the flop would be favorable to Rast as it fanned out 6♠K♦5♦.

The 2♦ turn didn't change anything, and the J♠ river gave Rast two pair to secure the double.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Benny Glaser kicked the action off with a raise to 22,000 on the button. Davide Suriano, in the small blind, three-bet to 75,000 and the big blind player folded.

Action returned to Glaser, who took some time to consider the situation before opting to move all in. Suriano snap-called and the cards were turned onto their backs.

Benny Glaser: A♦6♦ All in
Davide Suriano: J♣J♦

Glaser picked up some help on the 4♦8♥Q♦ flop, adding a flush draw to his one overcard.

The turn K♣ and river 9♥ were both bricks, though, and saw Suriano absorb Glaser's stack into his own.

Both players checked the 9♣ turn.

The 9♥ peeled on the river, and Dimitrov checked again. Negreanu chose to bet 60,000. Dimitrov pondered for a moment before he folded to award Negreanu the pot.
