Rick Munro sent Daniel Idema to the rail.

All the action folded to Munro in the sb. Even though Munro only had a 2-3, he decided to pressure Idema with a raise. He wasn't pleased when Idemea called. Both players checked the flop and turn. On the river, Munro bet with the smallest possible flush. Unfortunately for Idema, he made a straight on the river and pushed back all-in. Munro's little flush sent Idema to the rail.

Not Another Online Wonder (Jason Strasser)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jason Strasser is currently sitting in 2nd place in our LAPC main event. Unlike many of the "online wiz kids" Jason has a solid footing for both his poker achievements and the rest of his life. Currently enrolled in the Engineering School at Duke University, Jason has no visions of leaping full time into poker as he's going to be heading to Wall Street instead of moving to Las Vegas and hitting the tournament circuit full time. Although his online play (strassa2) certainly could change his lifestyle.

Four money finishes in the 2006 WSOP lend credence to Jason's crossover from online to brick and mortar play.
