Locked In Liberto; Rast Chips Up

Level 1

Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Brian Rast: XxXx / QK5K / Xx
Dara Taherpour: XxXx / 8K94x / Xx

Brian Rast completed and then called a raise by Dara Taherpour. On fourth street, Rast bet for Taherpour to call before they checked on fifth street. Rast bet again sixth when he paired the king and Taherpour stuck around to the final street on which he then folded to another bet.

The floor arrived to high-card a player to a new table that was about to open right next to them and Chad Eveslage grimaced "I hope it is you Justin, you are way too locked in". It was however not Justin Liberto that got moved but instead Alexander Kostritsyn.
