Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante

Elior Sion opened to 27,000 first to act and was called by Brian Rast from directly behind and Dario Alioto in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Alioto drew two, Sion stood pat, and Rast drew one.

It was checked to Rast, who said, "I have a good check-back hand, so I'm gonna check." Alioto mucked his hand and Sion announced, "Jack."

Rast fanned out 10x8x6x5x2x for a ten and was sent the pot.

"It was a good check-back and win hand."
