Brian Rast may not have the knack for self-promotion that some of the biggest names in the industry do, but he’s been quietly winning at the highest stakes, in a variety of formats, for years. In this interview, he talks about discovering Macau, the social dynamic of nosebleed live games, and how he balances his work and family life. Oh and that call against Phil Laak.This is a re-broadcast of a “lost” episode originally published in 2014. It has recently become available to us again thanks to Russ Fox.
