Strassmann in the Lead

Johannes Strassmann raised his button and got a call from Allan Bække in the small blind to see a {4-Spades}

flop. Bække checked, Strassmann bet 330,000, and Bække called.

The turn was another {4-Diamonds}

and once again Bække checked. Strassmann bet 630,000 this time, and once again Bække called. Interesting.

The river came down the {10-Spades}

and Bække checked a third time. This time the bet from Strassmann was an enormous 1.6 million. Bække eyed him up unsmilingly for some time while Strassmann stared intently at the board, trying not to blink. Eventually he folded, still giving Strassmann a look of combined respect and suspicion.

With that, former shorty Strassmann has snuck into the lead on 5.7 million.
