Greg Mueller Eliminated, New Chip Leader Emerges

Greg Mueller had led out 17,000 to go preflop when Rasmus Nielsen made it 67,000 more. Greg went into the tank, then eventually raised to 250,000. Rasmus quickly called and showed A-K to have Greg, who held K-10, dominated. Rasmus flopped an ace and although Greg turned a king, he wasn't able to improve and was eliminated from the field.

The hand was large enough to put Rasmus over 750,000, making him our new chip leader.
