Rasmussen Scores Big Double
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Keith Kemper raised to 125,000 in early position and Kim Rasmussen three-bet to 350,000 in late position. Kemper called.
The flop came 4♠5♣Q♣ and Kemper checked-raised to 800,000 over Rasmussen's bet of 250,000. Rasmussen then moved all in for 2,215,000 total and Kemper quickly called.
Kim Rasmussen: Q♥Q♦ 
Keith Kemper: K♣J♣
Rasmussen locked up the win on the 5♥ turn, improving to queens full of fives. The meaningless 8♠ completed the board.
