Michael Martin Doubles Through Stig Top Rasmussen

Henrik Gwinner opened the pot for a 55,000 raise, Michael Martin flat-called from middle position, and Stig Top Rasmussen, in the small blind, went into his typical five-minute thinking ritual (standing up, sitting down again, asking for a count) before putting in a reraise to 180,000. Gwinner folded and Martin flat-called again.

The flop was {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Rasmussen immediately moved all in and Martin snap-called, tabling {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} to Rasmussen's {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The turn was the {J-Spades}, the river was the {K-Diamonds} and Martin doubled his stack to 1,610,000. Rasmussen was left with 700,000.
