River Helps Rast
Level 3
: 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ike Haxton raised to 4,000 from the cutoff with the 
and Brian Rast called from the button with the 
.
Both blinds folded, the flop came down 
, and Haxton led out for 7,000. Rast raised it to 24,000 and Haxton called, which brought about the 
turn.
Both players checked and then did the same on the 
river.
"Eights," Haxton proclaimed and tabled his hand. It was no good though as Rast had rivered a pair of tens.
