Strassmann Getting Crafty

Johannes Strassmann raised to 75,000 from the hijack and Allan Bække called on the button.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Strassmann check-called 85,000. The turn brought the {7-Spades} and both checked, delivering the {A-Clubs} river card. Both checked again and Strassmann showed a winning {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, clearly having tried to induce Bække to bet.

Strassmann raised the next hand as well, getting no callers.

First Flop

Allan Bække (yes, we worked out how to stick the a and the e together!) raised it up to a slightly-more-than-minimum 65,000 and Johannes Strassmann called in the big blind. However, come the {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop Strassmann checked and then folded to a 75,000 bet from Bække.
