Let the Fireworks Fly on Day 3 of the $500,000 Super High Roller Bowl
Welcome back to the third and final day of the inaugural $500,000 Super High Roller Bowl. This tournament started with 43 entrants, who created a prize pool of $21.5 million, but now just seven players remain. Each of them is guaranteed at least $860,000 — their reward for making the money at the top seven — but each of them have their eyes firmly fixed on the $7.525 million first-place prize.
The man best positioned to make a run at the top prize is Brian Rast, who leads the final table with 7.98 million.
"I have a lot of chips, and I'm in a really good situation right now," Rast said at the end of the night. "My seat's not too bad, but there are a lot of good players. There are no amateurs. Hopefully I'll have some good luck and things will go well. Maybe I can take this big stack and win the tournament."
Rast is looking for the fourth seven-figure score of his career. His first came in 2011 when he won the World Series of Poker $50,000 Poker Players' Championship for $1,720,328, and then a year later he took sixth in the inaugural Big One for ONE DROP for $1,621,333. More recently, he took home $1,083,500 for winning the World Poker Tour Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic High Roller in December 2013.
However, in order for Rast to claim victory, he'll have to navigate a tough final table that includes Scott Seiver, who recently took to social media to explain he's playing some of the best poker of his life; Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel; online poker superstars Timofey "Trueteller" Kuznetsov; Day 1 chip leader David Peters; Vegas high roller veteran Tom Marchese; and the short stack coming into the day, Connor Drinan.
