O'Shea Bluffs the River
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Manuel O'Shea and Braz Borges were heads-up to the river of a 7♦2♦9♠J♠2♥ runout. Borges led out from the big blind for 475,000, representing about a third of his remaining stack.
O'Shea did not take long to announce a raise, moving all in and putting Borges to the test. Borges went into the tank for several minutes before another player at the table called the clock.
Facing a countdown and a bet for his tournament life, Borges eventually found the fold and asked O'Shea to show the bluff. O'Shea obliged, revealing Q♠3♠ for a missed flush draw before raking in the pot.
