For the next few months, Brian continued to live up in the Palo Alto area, playing poker both live and online. That summer of 2005 he left the Bay area and took his first shot at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Soon he was back living in Poway, playing online, and making regular trips to Commerce Casino & Las Vegas to play live. He eventually chose Las Vegas over Los Angeles. After making numerous trips where he stayed at Bellagio, sometimes for over 25 days in a month, he finally decided to rent a place in Henderson and move out to Vegas permanently in 2007. Then in mid-2008, he bought his first place at Panorama Towers – a highrise where many other poker players live due to its location and quality. He quickly met and became good friends with some other poker players in Las Vegas, notably Keith Gipson, Andrew Robl, Antonio Esfandiari, & Phil Laak. By late 2009, Andrew, Antonio, Brian, & Keith along with Dan Fleyshman and Dan Bilzerian decided to form Victory Poker – a poker website that ultimately shutdown after Black Friday. In January 2010, Laak convinced Brian to travel to Brazil with him. It’d be a trip that would change his life in a big way. While in Rio de Janeiro near the end of the trip, Brian met Juliana Karla Carlos da Silva while out drinking. Despite two failed US VISA attempts, Brian and Juliana talked daily on Skype and Brian made numerous trips to Brazil to continue the relationship. The couple were engaged later that year and found themselves trying for a third visa, a fiance visa. The 2011 WSOP happened during the leadup to the fiance visa, and marks a special time professionally for Brian because it is when he won 2 WSOP bracelets, including the prestigious $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship. Missing the Main Event that year, Brian flew to Brazil to accompany Juliana for the Fiance Visa interview. It was accepted. Within a few months she and her son Krishna came to the USA where Brian and her married in November.
Rast has four World Series of Poker bracelets, two of them he won at the 2011 World Series of Poker. His first was in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold’em event where he earned $227,232 after he defeated poker professional Allen Kessler heads-up,
