Only a few dozen players returned for their chance at World Series of Poker gold and the top prize of $474,102 on Day 2 of Event #41: $3,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em. By day’s end, it was Brian Rast who conquered the field and claimed victory for his fifth WSOP gold bracelet at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
Rast has more than $22 million in tournament earnings and has claimed two WSOP Poker Player's Championships. Yet the win today wasn’t an afterthought for the five-time bracelet winner Rast, who rekindled his competitive spirit with this trip to the WSOP.
