From the button Allan Baekke opened the pot with a raise, and he would flat-call a three-bet from small blind Casper Toft. The two men went heads up to an action flop: . Toft fired out 40,000 at the pot, but Baekke wanted to play for more. He made the minimum raise to 80,000, only to see Toft come right over the top with another raise to 200,000 straight. Baekke eventually announced an all in, and Toft quickly called to put more than a half-million chips in the middle of the table. Cards on their backs, please:
Baekke:
Toft:
It was quite the cooler for Toft, unable to get away from top two pair on that flop. He was drawing dead to four outs, and the turn and river blanked off with the and respectively. When the chips were counted down, Toft was left with just about 15,000 in chump change to work with.
It's awfully poor timing as the bubble is drawing imperatively close.
