Level 33
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
David Eldridge raised to 2,000,000 on the button with J?9?7?5? and Brian Rast called in the big blind holding K?9?8?7?.
Rast check-called a bet of 1,800,000 on the 8?6?A? flop.
The 10? turn gave both players the nut straight, though Eldridge did have a redraw to a better one. Rast checked before raising to 21,300,000 after Eldridge bet 4,300,000. Eldridge moved all in for a little more with Rast quickly calling with the slightly larger stack.
David Eldridge: J?9?7?5? 
Brian Rast: K?9?8?7?
Eldridge was freerolling but ended up chopping the pot once the 5? river completed the board, much to Rast's relief.

Rast checked to Eldridge, who continued for 2,200,000 on the 3?10?J? flop. Rast then check-raised to 10,800,000, which was met with a shove for 19,700,000 from Eldridge. Rast called to put Eldridge at risk and a showdown was held.
David Eldridge: K?J?J?6?
Brian Rast: 10?4?3?3?
Eldridge found himself in commanding shape with top set against Rast's bottom set, and the 7?5? runout kept Eldridge best for the double up to take the chip lead.

David Eldridge has won a number of small pots to narrow the gap between himself and Brian Rast.
Rast limped on the button holding 9?8?4?4? and then called after Eldridge raised to 1,800,000 in the big blind with A?K?J?8?.
Eldridge bet 2,600,000 after Rast checked to him on the J?9?2? flop. That bet alone was enough to force a fold and keep Eldridge chipping up.

The 3? completed the board, and Eldridge checked a final time, prompting Rast to place 2,200,000 into the middle.

: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Brian Rast opened to 1,750,000 on the button with A?Q?6?5? and then called after Ethan Cahn three-bet jammed for 6,300,000 out of the big blind holding A?K?Q?2?.
Ethan Cahn: A?K?Q?2?
Brian Rast: A?Q?6?5?
Cahn was a marginal favorite, that is until the flop came 8?5?9?. The 7? turn gave Rast a straight and left Cahn drawing dead prior to the inconsequential 4? river, bringing his impressive run to an end in 3rd place.
