Rosenkrantz Moves On

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Spades}, Jason Rosenkrantz and Asger Boye got it all into the middle and it was Rosenkrantz who had the best of it, tabling {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} against Boye's {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs}.

The turn and river blanked out {6-Diamonds}, {3-Clubs} and Jason's jack-kicker held up, sending him through to the round of 64.
