Brian Rast had the button. He opened to 210,000, and Minh Ly defended his big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Ly checked, and Rast continued for 315,000. Ly folded, and Rast won the pot.

Antonio Esfandiari began a "We will, we will, Rast you!" chant.

Hand #145

Phil Hellmuth had the button. He limped in, and Brian Rast knuckled in the big blind. The dealer fanned {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs}, Rast checked, and Hellmuth tossed out 240,000. Rast called.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, and Rast checked again. Hellmuth checked behind, and the river was the {7-Clubs}. Rast checked a third time, and Hellmuth slid out 700,000. Rast tank-mucked, and the Poker Brat picked up the pot.
