Aces Give Rasmussen a Double

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We only walked up to the table as the river action was happening, but here is what we saw. Thayer Rasmussen was heads up with another player on a completed {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board. Rasmussen's opponent had fired out 1,700, and the online pro moved all in for his last 7,075. His opponent spent about two minutes in the tank before dropping the call into the middle, and he mucked his hand when Rasmussen rolled over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for aces up.

After winning that hand, Rasmussen is up to 18,000.
