Nice Read by Eslami
Ali Eslami raised to 1,700 from the cutoff and received calls from Matt Woodward on the button and John Smith in the small blind. Jonathan Duhamel then reraised from the big blind, Eslami called, Woodward folded, and Smith called, making it three-way action to the flop.
Smith immediately checked, Duhamel bet 12,200, Eslami called, and Smith folded as the dealer burned and turned the . Both players checked to see the peel off on the river. Duhamel threw out four blue chips, worth T5,000 each, for a bet of 20,000. Eslami, who only had about 48,000 behind, thought long and hard before making the call.
Duhamel was first to show and simply mucked without exposing his cards, obviously not happy he'd been caught bluffing. Eslami showed for a pair of fives to go along with the threes on board. Not bad considering the board was four-flushed with two overs. Eslami is up to around 100,000.
