Gwinner Runs Another Huge Bluff!

The all-action table of Henrik Gwinner and Antonio Esfandiari has delivered once again, with Gwinner pulling off another huge bluff.

Gwinner opened the action with a raise from the cutoff to 3,300 and Esfandiari popped it up from the small blind to 13,600. Gwinner made the call and the two took a flop of {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Both players checked and saw a free card of {3-Diamonds} on the turn. This time Esfandiari led out with a bet of 15,800. Gwinner thought for a long time before making the call.

The river landed the {7-Diamonds} and Esfandiari checked. Gwinner deliberated over his decision so long that Esfandiari questioned whether he realised the action was on him. Eventually Gwinner obliged with a 18,000 bet. Esfandiari insta-folded and Gwinner scooped another large pot.

After the hand Gwinner quipped that Esfandiari had nothing, to which he replied that he had folded a pair of queens. "Go on, show the bluff..." urged Esfandiari and Gwinner delivered once again, flashing {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for another massive bluff!

Gwinner is steamrolling the table and now has over 170,000 in chips!
