Strothmann Loses to Aces, Doesn't Mind

We found European circuit fixture Malte Strothmann calling a bet from another player on an {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop, and then another on the {4-Spades} turn. The same thing happened on the {k-Diamonds} river, and the bettor revealed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for a set of aces.

"Now I look smart, right?" said Strothmann's opponent in what was clearly intended to be a pointed manner. Strothmann didn't seem too bothered, though - he giggled and mucked, and was left with 4,800.
