Rasmussen turned two pair and was in the lead, but Sion held kings and had plenty of outs. Unfortunately for him, none would be delivered and he was felled in fifth place for $55,422.
Elior Sion raised the button, and both blinds defended — Robby Rasmussen and Stephen Chidwick, respectively.

Rasmussen made the call but then tanked for a solid minute when Schwartz bet the river. Eventually he made the call but mucked upon seeing Schwartz's hand . . . .
