Rasmussen and Ravn In Battle of the Blinds
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Aage Ravn open-limps from the small blind, something we have not seen him do so far in this tournament. Jacob Rasmussen is not going to let him see a flop on the cheap and he raises it up to 56,000 sending Ravn into the tank.
He stays there for a solid minute before taking his original bet back and four-betting to 130,000. Rasmussen, sat with his hands on his throat, almost like he is strangling himself, completely still. Eventually he moved and increased his bet to a total of 210,000! All this from a limped pot!
Ravn, currently being railed by Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden, waited for 90 seconds, winced and then folded.
