The Bluff That Broke the King
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With about 65,000 already in the pot and the board showing J♦K♣J♥2♦7♦, Imad Derwiche checked to Leonard Maue, who bet 36,400, leaving himself just 100 chips behind. Derwiche tossed his remaining time bank cards in the middle, clearly signaling the weight of his decision.
"Do you have a king?" he asked repeatedly. "Will you show if I fold?" he added, but Maue stayed quiet, only offering a faint smile.
After using all his time bank cards, Derwiche eventually folded, showing one king. Maue then revealed A♣Q♣ for a bluff, scooping the pot and leaving Derwiche stunned.
