Another One Bites the Dust

[user38449]

Martin Rask of Denmark has just been eliminated from the tournament in 46th place after his A-K failed to hold up against David Miara's A-Q. Miara opened the pot with a standard raise from early position and the action folded around to Rask, who countered by instantly moving all of his chips into the middle. Both blinds folded and Miara made the call.

The {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

flop shifted the scales further in Rask's favor, but the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

that fell on the turn swung momentum Miara's way. Needing a king on the river to stay alive, Rask shrugged his shoulders when the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

popped off on the end, cementing the hand for Miara.

Rask earned $53,372 for his efforts.
