Doyle Brunson moved all in from middle position. It was 206,500, and after getting the count, Brian Rast called. Dario Sammartino considered for a bit from the button but mucked and it was heads up with Brunson patting. Rast pitched a card and Brunson rolled over {9-}{8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}.

Rast was drawing quite live: {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-}. However, he sweated out a {j-Spades} and Brunson collected a double, much to the delight of the crowd.
