Bluffing with the Best Hand
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Arian Hassankashani opened to 4,500 in middle position and "PO" called from the small blind. The flop came Q♠5♥2♠ and "PO" check-called a bet of 5,000 from Hassankashani.
The turn brought the 7♠ and both players checked to the 8♠ on the river. With four spades on the board, "PO" fired out a bet of 10,500 which Hassankashani called. "PO" reluctantly turned over J♥J♣ but Hassankashani was unable to beat it.
