Early Double for the Short Stack
Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Brian Rast is the most accomplished player at the final table, but he began it as the short stack. Well look out folks, because the two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner now has some chips.
In a recent hand, Lennart Uphoff opened for 125,000 and James Rann and Rast called from the small and big blind respectively. The 
flop saw Uphoff continue for 150,000 after both his opponents checked. Rann folded, Rast called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
. Rast checked, Uphoff bet 275,000, and Rast check-raised all in. Uphoff made the call and the cards were turned up.
Uphoff: 
Rast: 
Rast had flopped big and he shipped the double after the 
completed the board on the river.
