[user196676]

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jacob Rasmussen opened with a raise to 8,500 from early position and all around the table hands were kicked into the muck until the action hit Ramsey Khoury in the big blind. Khoury announced a three-bet all in for 79,000 and Rasmussen called. Rasmussen tabled and was racing with Khoury's for his tournament life.

Rasmussen retained his lead after the flop brought but Khoury picked up more outs when the hit the turn. Khoury was then looking to pair up or make a spade flush on the river. He made the latter, as the finished the board and he was able to double to about 170,000. Rasmussen, on the other hand, dropped to about 215,000.
