Keith Gipson moves all in under-the-gun for 145,000 and Dominik Nitsche moves all in from the small blind for 274,000. Brian Rast is in the big blind and stands up from the table, while going into the tank.
“I don’t think I can fold this,” said Rast. “I’m pretty sure I have to call, but I have to take a few seconds to think about this because we are playing for a lot of money.”
