Taherpour Loses to Baker; Takes From Rast

Level 12

No-Limit Hold'em

On the tail end of a 733 flop, David "ODB" Baker bet 55,000 from under the gun and Dara Taherpour called on the button. On the 4 turn, Baker went into the tank for nearly two minutes before he bet 80,000 to force a fold from Taherpour.

Brian Rast then raised to 23,000 from under the gun and Baker defended the big blind to check-call for 20,000 on the 777 flop. After the 10 turn, Baker checked and folded when Rast bet 76,000.

Seven Card Stud

Brian Rast: XxXx / 4875 / Xx
Dara Taherpour: XxXx / J210J / Xx

Taherpour completed in the first hand of Stud and Rast called. Taherpour's bet on fourth was called before they checked fifth street. On sixth street, Taherpour bet, Rast raised and picked up a call. They checked seventh street and Taherpour tabled his AJ9 in the hole for a set of jacks to win the pot.

While the hand played out, Ariel Mantel was eliminated by Ray Dehkharghani in Razz.
