Russell Carson made it a standard 260,000 from the button and Bække called.

Flop: {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

Bække bet out an amount we sadly couldn't quite make, but the raise from Carson was to 1.1 million. Call. Suddenly the hand got interesting.

Disappointingly, though, they checked down the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

turn and

{5-Spades}

river, and Carson flipped {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

for a straight draw that hadn't come in. Bække's {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

for two pair was good, and he picked up the healthy 2.7 million pot.
