It was all Brian Rast in the wee hours of Thursday morning at the PokerGO Studio, where the seven-time WSOP bracelet winner wrapped up the final day of the PGT Mixed Games series with a $480,000 victory in the $25K 10-Game finale.
Meanwhile, Yuri Dzivielevski crushed the entire week and closed out a series leaderboard win with his second runner-up finish. Also on hand was Gus Hansen, who jumped into the $25K 10-Game to warmup before he claims a satellite seat for Thursday's $100K Super High Roller Bowl. Hansen impressed with a deep run and a min-cash of $48,000, returning among 20 players on Day 2.
One Rast to rule them all
Rast navigated a final table that included the usual Murderer's Row of mixed game regulars, starting with seventh-place finisher Matthew Wantman. After Wantman, the 10-game rotation claimed one victim after another. Ariel Mantel would fall in badugi and Justin Liberto lost in Razz, all while Rast was making his move to the top of the leaderboard. Ryan Miller was next, losing in Omaha Hi-Lo, and Philip Sternheimer followed him off the stage in another badugi hand to set the table for heads-up play.
The champ started with a dominating lead in the final two showdown and the endgame quickly came down to a hand of badugi, where players try to make the lowest four-card hand with four different suits. Dzivielevski, holding the last of his chips, got it in with 
. Rast had to call with just about anything, so he came along with 
without wasting much time.
Rast and Yuri exchanged three draws and turned them over for a showdown. Yuri, who caught some bad luck on the second draw, ended up with 
, a pair with not much badugi. Rast finished with 
and enough to satisfy a three-card badugi with four different cards to take the final pot.
Yuri cleans up well
It was Rast's third career PGT title, but it was Dzivielevski who stole the show throughout the rest of the PGT Mixed Games series. The Brazilian finished at the top of the series-long leaderboard on the power of two runner-up finishes and one victory, drumming up $745,350 in winnings. Dzivielevski tops Qinghai Pan, who scored a win and two other deep runs earlier in the series, and Rast, who cashed three times.
Attention now shifts to the $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl, a three-day mixed games event that will broadcast live from the PokerGO Studio. Last year's Mixed Games edition of the SHRB drew 29 players and handed $1.2 million to Chad Eveslage for the win. This year's event has already eclipsed that mark before a single card is in the air. The tournament has confirmed 31 players so far, including Bryn Kenney, Ben Lamb, Nick Schulman, Daniel Negreanu, Michael Mizrachi, Gus Hansen, and Jason Mercier. Tune into PokerGO on Thursday night at 5:30pm PT for Day 1 action, followed by Days 2 and 3 starting at 2pm local time on Friday and Saturday.
