Event Info
Strassmann, already the shortest of the fairly evenly stacked four at the table, has now dipped below 3 million.
Medesan promptly mucked his hand, and B?kke took down the pot with his mysteriously superior holdings. He's retaken the chip lead with about 5.5 million.
Such is how it went on the 100th hand of this final table.
The action went as follows:
- Allan B?kke raised to 125,000 under the gun.
- Russell Carson reraised to 370,000 on the button.
- Alain Medesan in the small blind attempted to four-bet but only put in 500,000 which was not enough to be a raise; it was ruled a call instead.
- B?kke now actually four-bet to a million.
- Carson looked very confused and eventually folded.
- Medesan folded too.
We are very much looking forward to seeing on TV what they all had there...
The two men saw a flop of , and B?kke check-called a bet of 205,000. Both men checked the on the turn, and the filled out the board. When B?kke checked a third time, Carson made one last bet of 370,000. The call from B?kke came rather quickly.
"Straight," said Carson, and B?kke was just about to table his hand when Carson's hit the felt. A sour look crossed B?kke's face, and he decided to forgo showing down and send his cards right back into the muck instead.
Carson's straight to the six earns him that big pot and the chip lead, dropping B?kke down into third place.
Carson - 4.885
B?kke - 4.095
