Sven Heinecker Eliminated by Stig Tap Rasmussen

Sven Heinecker open-pushed for 258,000 from UTG and Stig Tap Rasmussen called from the big blind. Heinecker turned up {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and was in bad shape against Rasmussen's {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The flop was {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Rasmussen couldn't bear to watch and started pacing away from the table.

As the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Scotty Nguyen exclaimed "Oh my God, a three!" and Rasmussen whirled around to see the bad news, only to find that Nguyen was just messing with him. The river was the {7-Clubs}, making Rasmussen a set of sevens and eliminating Heinecker.

After the hand, Rasmussen was up to 1,550,000.
