Rast Leaps into Chip Lead
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Rast has just won one of, if not the biggest, pot of the tournament to leap into the chip lead with 1,120,000.
He and Don Mishra had made it to the river with around about 400,000 in the middle and the board read . Rast was first to act and bet 300,000, enough to send Mishra into the tank for several minutes. Eventually he nodded and said, "Okay, I call."
Rast opened for top set, beating out Mishra's . The man from Singapore will have to rebuild from 92,000 now.
