Scandi on Scandi Raising War

[user25067]

With the action folded around to Erik Sjodin on the button, he raised to 14,000 and Frode Gjesdal called from the big blind. The flop came down {9-Clubs}

. Gjesdal checked, Sjodin bet 20,000, and Gjesdal reraised to 42,000. Gjesdal almost immediately slid out a large stack of 5,000 chips, setting Sjodin all in for the 75,000 or so he had behind. After much wrinkling of his forehead and shuffling of chips, Gjesdal mucked his hand with a frown and Sjodin raked in the pot.

Gjesdal is now down to 75,000.
