Gerard Zeitoun Eliminated by Anders Rasmussen

Gerard Zeitoun raises to 7,000 from middle position and Anders Rasmussen three-bets to 18,500 in late position. Players fold like envelopes before Zeitoun picks up a pile of brown 5k chips and dumps them over the line. Zeitoun didn’t count the pile before making his move but the dealer told Rasmussen it was 62,000. Strong play, but it didn’t deter our PartyPoker online qualifier who moves all-in. Zeitoun pushes his remaining loose change into the middle and we have a showdown.

Rasmussen: [Ad] [Kc]
Zeitoun: [Kd] [Kh]

Rasmussen is in a world of hurt.

Rasmussen now has a backdraw flush draw to add to his outs.

Turn: [4s]

No change

River: [Jc]

There is a few seconds of awkward silence that is eventually broken by the whispering voice of Rasmussen.

"Sorry," whispers Rasmussen.

Rasmussen – 650,000
