Chamberlain Bluffs Auvil
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ian Auvil limped in the cutoff with Q♦10♥, which led to a limp from Ronald Kaepernick in the small blind with A♣4♣, and a check from Paul Chamberlain in the big blind with 8♠7♥.
The flop came K♠J♠5♦, and after Kaepernick checked, Chamberlain bet 220,000.
Auvil called with his open-ended straight draw and Kaepernick folded.
On the 5♠ turn, Chamberlain bet again, this time to the tune of 320,000. Auvil thought briefly, then showed his hand and folded.
As the livestream announcers begged for Chamberlain to show the bluff, Chamberlain did just that, drawing an eruption from the booth and a head shake from Auvil as the pot was pushed away from him.
