Sweet Chouity's Badass River Bink

Allan Bække
Allan Bække

With the board reading {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {2-Spades}, Allan Baekke led out for 16,300 only for his fellow EPT champion to raise it to a chunky 53,500 with only 30,000 behind.

Baekke was immediately concerned, "Count please," said the Dane as he quickly recounted his own stack before checking, rechecking and re-rerechecking his cards. Chouity's aggressive reputation worked for him though as Baekke made the call and Chouity turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} for the backdoored nut-flush putting his own stack over the 150,000 mark as Baekke once more dropped to a short stack.

"It was nuts or nothing," sighed Baekke, "I thought if he had turned the flush draw he would've bet it."
