Battle of the Rasmussen
Reino Rasmussen stood on the rail and, with as big a smile as ever, told us what had happened.
After a player had opened and someone had called, Rasmussen found the perfect spot with 
in the small blind. He pushed his 5 big blinds to the middle and got called by the big blind, initial raiser and caller.
The flop came 
and some side action got underway. The big blind bet out and both players called. An off suit 
hit the turn and two checks later it was Rasmus Rasmussen (no relation) betting.
Just one player called. The river paired the board with a 
and the player that had check-called the bet on the turn, now lead out on the river. Rasmus Rasmussen shoved all in and received a call.
The bet-calling player showed 
for a straight, while Rasmus Rasmussen turned over 
for the nut flush.
Reino Rasmussen's looked bleak and the Danish regular made his exit from the tournament in a 600,000 pot. Rasmus Rasmussen now one of the biggest stacks in the tournament.
