Kiem Picks off the Bluff
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded around to Lara Eisenberg in the small blind who completed, and Paul Kiem checked in the big blind.
The flop came 2♠K♥8♣ and both players checked to the Q♠ turn.
Eisenberg bet 7,500 and Kiem called, bringing the 5♥ river.
Eisenberg sized up with a bet of 21,000 and Kiem thought for a moment before making the call.
Eisenberg showed J♣9♠ for a busted straight draw and Kiem tabled 8♦6♠ to scoop the pot with a pair of eights.
