Brent Sheirbon opened with a button raise to 20,000. Ryan Fee folded the small blind, but Claus Rasmussen wasn't so easily deterred. After taking a minute or two to think, Rasmussen reraised to a carefully counted 62,000. Not to be outdone, Sheirbon quickly moved all in for a total of 225,000 even.
Rasmussen went deep into the tank for several minutes, slipping his cards back and forth under his hands. Finally, he did let it go, sending more than 20% of his stack over to Sheirbon.
