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 Bække made it 360,000 from the big blind. Back to Medesan, who promptly made it a million to go.

Bække counted out the requisite chips to call but paused for a while - and eventually gave his hand up.
