Baekke Finds Aces

[user66118]

From the cutoff seat, Allan Baekke opened the pot to 34,000 before Johannes Holstege three-bet to 79,000 from the button. When the blinds folded, Baekke came right back over the top with a four-bet to 157,000, and Holstege moved all in for 642,000. Snap-call! Monster pot. Cards up.

Showdown
Baekke: {A-Clubs}

Holstege:

Johannes couldn't believe his predicament as he stood from his chair and paced around the table, staring at the floor and shaking his head. The flop wasn't much help for him as it came {7-Spades}

. The

on the turn opened the door a crack, though, and an unlikely {5-Spades}

filled out the board and filled in Holstege's straight.

Coming from behind to notch that big double up, Holstege finds himself sitting now with about 1.3 million.

Baekke - 2.65 million
