Lodge Calls River Bluff to Gain Big Stack
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of 2♥9♦5♦ and Yunkyu Song checked. Harry Lodge bet 100,000 and Song called.
The turn was the Q♠ and Song checked again. Lodge doubled his flop bet, making it 200,000 to go. Song made the call again.
The river was the 9♥ and Song switched to a lead for 450,000. It didn't take long for Lodge to make the call. Song showed 8♠5♠ for a pair of fives that he'd turned into a bluff, while Lodge flipped over J♣9♣ for trip nines to win a huge pot and chip up to close to 3.5 million.
