Rast Takes Chunk from Arieh

Stud

A number of bets went in the middle on this stud hand between a couple of the big stacks, Brian Rast and Josh Arieh.

Rast: (X)(X) / {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} / (X)
Arieh: (X)(X) / {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {A-Spades} / (X)

Rast brought it in on third, then called after Arieh had completed. On fourth Arieh check-called Rast's bet, then on fifth Rast led with a bet which Arieh called again. When Arieh showed a pair of aces on sixth he bet, and Rast raised. Arieh paused a beat, then called. Arieh then check-called one more bet from Rast on seventh.

Rast turned over {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for aces and queens, and Arieh mucked.
