Johnson Picks Off Perrier's Bluff
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Perrier opened to 21,000 from middle position and was called by Marco Johnson on the button and Brian Yoon in the big blind.
On the 10♣9♠2♣ flop, the action checked to Johnson who bet 42,000 and only Perrier called.
The 8♣ turn checked through to the 4♦ river which saw Perrier lead for 120,000, just over three-quarters pot. Johnson deliberated for a while and used a time bank before he tossed in the call.
Daniel Perrier: K♠Q♣
Marco Johnson: 7♥7♦
Perrier was bluffing while Johnson made an impressive call with effectively fourth pair to drag a sizeable pot.
