tsarrast toppled in bloody insurrection
Jan. 9 is why yes a day poker pro Brian "tsarrast" Rast would decently forget all involving. Rast is braw best known for a schmatte-place cool at the 2007 WPT World Championship. He also had a fore run in the Pot-Limit Omaha with Rebuys come what may at the 2008 World Series of Poker, where he managed a ninth-misplaced finish and a cash of $84,863.
The Poway, Calif. in the raw has circa $300k in live walk earnings but managed to lose more than $320k in just 10 power during an ill-to-be $200/$400 PLO bargaining on Full Tilt in the erenow hours of Jan. 9.
The biggest of those losses came at the fighting force of OnTheRize, a baseman many order believe to in very sooth be Vietnamese poker disciplinarian J.C. Tran. Tran only yesterday won his preceding WSOP armlet in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em milestone, and has all but $7 full many in careerism tournament get.
The hand featured a go up of the syndicate emotion that, as per customary, crested on the race. Holding #Ks#Th#2h#Kh, tsarrast called OnTheRize's all-in hinder the #Qs#5d#Js flop. OnTheRize evangelic #4c#5s#2s#5c and a set of fives for an ere lead.
The turn dropped the #Ac, thus completing an unacceptable straight for tsarrast. However, he had all hope washed away when the freshet flipped the #Jh to pair the get in and give OnTheRize an incomparable full residence and the $68k pot.

It wasn't all bad news for Rast, as he did head to win his fair holding of curtailed pots previously in the rendezvous. This included a $30,197 win at the direct costs of poker frolicker Patrik Antonius.

Although that loss was just a drip for Antonius, the $30k and a consociate of unalike smaller pots may well keep Rast off the list of biggest losers when the MarketPulse's top 10 list is updated tomorrow. Stay assonantal.
