Professor Hedlund Teaches a Lesson

Peter Hedlund's discourse to his table about German-American relations in 1944 (such as they were, we suppose) was interrupted by a three-way pot that slowly developed. Action was checked on the {3-Hearts} {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} lop. When the turn came {8-Spades}, Hedlund bet 1,500. One opponent folded but the button player called.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} river, with Hedlund showing down {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Hedlund's opponent let out a pained sigh and mucked his hand.
