Hall of Famer Brian Rast is Here

Brian Rast has, in the past, been referred to as one of poker’s end bosses. And after his career year in 2023, that title has never been more apt.

The newly-minted member of the Poker Hall of Fame claimed his sixth WSOP gold bracelet this summer with a record-tying third victory in the prestigious $50,000 Poker Players Championship. With that recognition comes a new level of gravitas, one where when he walked into the Encore Ballroom to grab a spot in Day 1B of the WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, players around the room took notice: “Rast is here.”
