Leibgorin Catches a Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
The player under the gun opened to 1,200, and he was called by Michel Leibgorin to his left and by the button. The big blind squeezed to 5,500 and everybody called.
The big blind continued for 7,000 on the K♣7♥5♠ flop, but only Leibgorin called. He fired a second barrel of 8,000 on the 2♦ turn, and Leibgorin called again.
The J♦ completed the board and the big blind bet an extra 12,500. Leibgorin called again and couldn't hide his joy after the big blind sent his cards into the muck. He flipped over 9♠9♣ and scooped the pot.
