Johannes Strassmann raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Russell Carson three-bet to 505,000 from the small blind and forced a fold from the Team PokerStars Pro.
Some curiousness here as Alain Medesan did a very unusual thing and just limped in under the gun. Johannes Strassmann made it 225,000 from the button - but Russell Carson in the big blind three-bet to 575,000 and the other two players both folded.
Alain Medesan opened for 125,000 from the button but Allan B?kke made it 360,000 from the big blind. Back to Medesan, who promptly made it a million to go.
B?kke counted out the requisite chips to call but paused for a while - and eventually gave his hand up.
Allan B?kke raised to 105,000 in the cutoff and Alain Medesan made it 250,000 to play from the small blind, which B?kke called. The flop came down and Medsan bet 325,000, winning the pot when B?kke gave it up.
Allan B?kke raised to 125,000 form the button and Alain Medesan called in the big blind.
They checked down the flop and turn, and B?kke called a 100,000 bet from Medesan on the river. Medesan revealed and B?kke couldn't beat his top pair; Medesan took the pot.
It folded to Johannes Strassmann in the small blind who raised it up to 150,000; Allan B?kke called in the big blind.
Strassmann bet out 200,000 on the flop and B?kke called. They saw a turn and this time Strassmann checked; B?kke now bet 325,000 and Strassmann finally let it go.
Alain Medesan opened to 125,000 in the cutoff and Johannes Strassmann re-raised to 375,000 on the button. The blinds folded as did Mesedan, giving the pot to Strassmann.
