: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
No-Limit Holdem
Jorge Hou open-shoved all-in for 235,000 and Brian Rast called on the button. Giuseppe Pantaleo in the big blind went beyond by shoving himself for 740,000 sending Rast to the tank.
Rast had to tell Kristin Bertilson, who was busy chatting, that he needed a bit of silence as he considered his options. She obliged allowing Rast to think and finally call, taking all three players to the ensuing showdown.
Jorge Hou: K♣5♣
Giuseppe Pantaleo: K♥K♦
Brian Rast: J♦10♦
Panteleo's lead held on the 9♦2♠6♠ flop. Rast, however, got more outs when the turn fell 3♦. Hou let out a groan of frustration as he got on his feet as the river 5♦ fell on the river.
Both Hou and Pantaleo left the table as Rast scooped the pot towards his direction.
