Stig Top Explosion

Stig Top-Rasmussen was going strong but just lost a massive pot to bust out in sensational circumstances.

Top-Rasmussen raised preflop to 2,800 and Eric Crain made the call from the big blind.

The flop came {A-?}{8-?}{3-?} and it was checked to Top-Rasmussen who fired 4,000 into the middle. Crain check-raised to 12,000 before Top-Rasmussen moved all in. Crain snap-called and tabled {A-?}{8-?} for top two pair to leave Top-Rasmussen in bad shape with his {A-?}{9-?}.

The turn and river blanked and Top-Rasmussen is eliminated as Crain becomes our chip leader with over 110,000 chips!
