Sallustro Gets Away with a Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Four-handed on a flop of 3♣5♥6♠, Pellegrino Sallustro bet 5,400 from the hijack and Frederic Delval called in the big blind, as did Catalin Pop in middle position.
All three players checked the 9♦ turn and the 6♥ fell on the river. Sallustro then bet 12,500.
Delval quickly folded, then Pop also folded. Sallustro wiped his brow as he turned over K♣10♣ for a bluff.
"I almost called," Pop told him.
