Thayer Rasmussen Eliminated

Thayer Rasmussen moved all in for his remaining 46,000 from the small blind and Sylvain Coeur made the call from the big blind. Rasmussen's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} were up against Coeur's {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

The flop was {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, Rasmussen's aces still leading. Coeur picked up a gutshot straight draw on the turn when the {7-Spades} came down. The river was the devastating {9-Spades}, Coeur making a runner-runner straight to send Rasmussen to the rail.
