Thiemer Hangs Around
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 50,000 in middle position before Frederik Thiemer reraised to 200,000 in the hijack, leaving just one 5,000 chip behind. El Yaacoubi then moved all in. "Back to school or staying?" El Yaacoubi joked with the youthful-looking Thiemer, who used up a few time banks until tossing in his last chip.
Frederik Thiemer: A♠Q♦ 
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠10♦
The board ran out 8♥6♦5♥6♥J♦ and Thiemer held on with ace-high to earn a double up.
