No River Tamm

Allan Baekke put in a raise to 35,000 and Swede Erik Tamm defended from the small blind. Tamm led out for 50,000 on the {10-Hearts}

flop and Baekke called. The turn was the {3-Clubs}

and Tamm fired again, betting 130,000 this time. Baekke looked a little concerned, as though he was not expecting his opponent to fire again but again he made the call against the Swede. The {9-Diamonds}

appeared on the river and Tamm silently thought quietly for a minute.

The interesting thing at this point was that while waiting for Tamm to act, Baekke was not watching his opponent at all, just staring at vacant space as though he had already made a bet himself.

Tamm finally checked and Baekke began to eye up his opponent’s remaining stack of around 510,000. Finally he decided to bet 238,000 and Tamm quickly called, Baekke showed {7-Hearts}

for a rivered straight. Baekke is now the chip leader with over 2 million chips, start making your Baekke to Baekke jokes.
