Brian Rast

Brian "tsarrast" Rast began his poker career in 2003, quickly ascended to the world of high stakes poker, and has remained a fixture there ever since. Although currently focused on live cash games wherever they may be, Brian also experienced great success in online cash games prior to Black Friday. While mostly a cash game player throughout his career, his tournament resume rounds out with over $4.5m in live cashes and two WSOP bracelets, including the WSOP Poker Player's Championship in 2011. Although the majority of his play is either NLHE or PLO, he is extremely proficient in the mixed games as well, and in a final summation can be considered a student of the game.
