Rasmussen Falling Fast

Stig Top Rasmussen recently held a spot within the top five overall chip counts but has been relegated to bottom-feeder status after being on the losing end of a few big pots.

Most recently, he sent over 130,000 worth of chips to Denes Kalo in what was a battle of the blinds. Action folded around to Stig in the small blind, who opened with a 60,000 pre-flop bet. Kalo called and they saw a flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Stig then led out again, this time for 75,000, and his bet was met by a raise from Kalo, who made it 200,000 more, forcing Rasmussen out of the pot.

Stig dropped to 570,000 in chips after the hand, while Kalo improved to just under one million.
