Bluff Gone Right

[user38449]

[Removed:197] is up to 75,000 after an untimely bluff worked out quite well for him.

A player sitting under-the-gun opened with a raise to 6,000 and another unknown to his left made the call before the action reached [Removed:198], who moved all in for 30,100 in an attempted squeeze play. Action then folded around to a fourth player in the hand sitting in the hijack position and he moved all in over the top of [Removed:198] for upwards of 100,000. All other players folded, setting up a heads-up showdown between [Removed:198] and the hijack player:

[Removed:198]: {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

Opponent:

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

The ensuing board then ran out {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

giving [Removed:198] a straight to stay alive in the tournament.
