Schroer Knocking Over Chips, Moving All In

Mickey Doft

Allan Bække raised to 85,000 in the cutoff and Jonathan Schroer went all in from the big blind, knocking over his chips in the process. Not only that, he puts on his hoodie, his sunglasses, and takes out his room key to protect his cards.

Bække chuckled while throwing his hand away.

Johannes Strassmann made it 105,000 to go and both Allan Bække (small blind) and Russell Carson (big blind) came along to see a flop.

Flop: {8-Diamonds}

It checked around to Strassmann who bet 250,000. Bække made the call, Carson gave it up, and they saw a turn.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

This time both players checked, Bække squinting at the felt as he did so and the squint intensifying as Strassmann checked behind.

River: {2-Diamonds}

Bække now bet out a smallish 310,000, and with the bare minimum of fuss Strassmann folded.

Mickey Doft

Allan Bække raised to 85,000 on the button and Alain Medesan made it 190,000 to go from the big blind. Bække called and the flop came down {8-Diamonds}

.

Both took the free card, bringing out the {7-Hearts}

on the turn. Medesan bet 250,000 and Bække did not go anywhere, making the call. The river was the {J-Spades}

and Medesan took his time before placing out 500,000. Bække made the call and Medesan proudly tabled {A-Spades}

for the nuts. Bække shook his head and mucked, saying he hit a set of jacks.

The pot boosts Medesan's stack to 2.5 million and drops Bække down to almost 4,000,000.

[user46392]

Allan Bække did his favourite thing and raised to 85,000 - only for Jonathan Schroer to shove for 890,000. Schroer put his head down on the table, completely covering his face with his hoodie, while Bække smiled good-naturedly at the blue stripes of the online qualifier. Eventually he folded, and Schroer moved up to 1,063,000.

Under the gun, Brent Wheeler raised to 110,000. For the second time today, Allan Bække re-raised Wheeler. This time he made it 275,000 and action folded back around to Wheeler. He gave it up again and Bække took it down.

He is just shy of 5,000,000.
