Petrangelo Takes on Rast; Kaverman Chips Up

In a battle of the blinds, Brian Rast limped in and Nick Petrangelo checked his option in the big blind. On the flop, Rast bet 150,000 and Petrangelo called before doing so again for 450,000 on the turn.

Rast slowed down on the river and checked, which prompted a bet of 1.3 million by Petrangelo. That ended up winning the pot without further resistance, as Rast sent his cards into the muck.

Byron Kaverman raised to 225,000 and Rick Salomon called from the cutoff, as did Justin Bonomo in the big blind. On the flop, Bonomo checked to Kaverman, who made it 325,000 to go. Salomon called and Bonomo folded. The turn went check, check, and the appeared on the river.
