Bække Bites Into Strassmann

Allan Bække
Allan Bække
Johannes Strassmann made it 105,000 to go and both Allan Bække (small blind) and Russell Carson (big blind) came along to see a flop.

Flop: {8-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

It checked around to Strassmann who bet 250,000. Bække made the call, Carson gave it up, and they saw a turn.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

This time both players checked, Bække squinting at the felt as he did so and the squint intensifying as Strassmann checked behind.

River: {2-Diamonds}

Bække now bet out a smallish 310,000, and with the bare minimum of fuss Strassmann folded.

Medesan Leaves a Bad Taste for Bække

Allan Bække raised to 85,000 on the button and Alain Medesan made it 190,000 to go from the big blind. Bække called and the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

Both took the free card, bringing out the {7-Hearts} on the turn. Medesan bet 250,000 and Bække did not go anywhere, making the call. The river was the {J-Spades} and Medesan took his time before placing out 500,000. Bække made the call and Medesan proudly tabled {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the nuts. Bække shook his head and mucked, saying he hit a set of jacks.

The pot boosts Medesan's stack to 2.5 million and drops Bække down to almost 4,000,000.

Schroer Shoves, Bække Backs Down

Jonathan Schroer
Jonathan Schroer
Allan Bække did his favourite thing and raised to 85,000 - only for Jonathan Schroer to shove for 890,000. Schroer put his head down on the table, completely covering his face with his hoodie, while Bække smiled good-naturedly at the blue stripes of the online qualifier. Eventually he folded, and Schroer moved up to 1,063,000.

Carson Wakes Up

Allan Bække raised to 85,000 and took the pot.

The next hand Bække opened for 85,000 again, but this time Russell Carson made it 225,000 from the button - the first hand he's played today. Bække gave him respect, and folded.
