Rasmussen Finds an Ace to Triple
Level 28
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Kim Rasmussen moved all in for 1,600,000 from middle position and Steve Kelly called on the button. Kamden Keleher then reshoved for 4,275,000 in the small blind.
Kelly spent several minutes in the tank, going through the numbers as he considered the decision. "Your math is mathing," Kyle Shipman joked. He eventually called to put both opponents at risk.
Kim Rasmussen: A♠9♣
Kamden Keleher: J♦J♥
Steve Kelly: J♠10♠
Keleher was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 6♣5♠5♥, but Rasmussen hit the A♥ on the turn to make two pair. "I can't win," Kelly said, and the river came the 6♠.
Rasmussen tripled up, while Keleher took the sizeable side pot off Kelly.
