Bluffing With the Best of It
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action folded to Nova Baghdasarian on the button and he raised to 1,500, which was called by the big blind Thomas Carlin.
After the 3♠K♠10♥ flop, Carlin check-called a bet of 400 from Baghdasarian.
The turn brought the 10♦ and Carlin again check-called a bet from the Baghdasarian, this time for 2,200.
After the 5♦ on the river, Carlin checked again, and Baghdasarian bet out 4,500. After sitting in the tank for nearly a minute, Carlin made the call. Baghdasarian then tabled Q♦5♠ and Carlin laughed and said "Value bet" and tossed his cards in the muck, giving Baghdasarian the pot.
