Thayer "THAY3R" Rasmussen playing on Day 1D
The UTG player opened for 17,000, Alana Morin called, Paul Lieu called, Thayer Rasmussen moved all in for 122,000, Sylvain Coeur called all in for 103,000 from the button, and the UTG player, Morin, and Lieu all folded.

Coeur {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Rasmussen {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

The flop was {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}, Rasmussen hitting two pair, but the {10-Diamonds} hit on the turn, making Coeur a Broadway straight. The river was the {7-Spades} and Rasmussen was crippled, left with only 19,000 while Coeur's stack grew to 300,000.

A few hands later, Rasmussen moved all in and was called by both blinds, who checked down the {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} board. Rasmussen rolled over {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and both his opponents mucked.

Rasmussen now has 58,000.
