Khoury Doubles Through Rasmussen
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jacob Rasmussen opened with a raise to 8,500 from early position and all around the table hands were kicked into the muck until the action hit Ramsey Khoury in the big blind. Khoury announced a three-bet all in for 79,000 and Rasmussen called. Rasmussen tabled 
and was racing with Khoury's 
for his tournament life.
Rasmussen retained his lead after the flop brought 
but Khoury picked up more outs when the 
hit the turn. Khoury was then looking to pair up or make a spade flush on the river. He made the latter, as the 
finished the board and he was able to double to about 170,000. Rasmussen, on the other hand, dropped to about 215,000.
