Dec 5, 2017

On a board reading Club 8Diamond 9Club 7Heart 5Spade 6 with roughly 4,500 in the middle, Brian Rast had a bet of 9,000 in front of him from out of the small blind.

German player Christian Christner responded with a raise to 28,000, and after several minutes deliberating, Rast committed his final 12,700 and tables his Heart JHeart 7 to play the straight on the board.

Christner however, tables his Heart 10Heart 8 for a ten-high straight, and consequently eliminates Rast from the tournament while seeing his stack climb to 69,000 in chips.
