Bekavac Tries to Get Paid

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action picked up on the flop between the two table big stacks, Mitchell Bank in the small blind and Dan Bekavac in early position.

The board showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Bank checked to Bekavac, and Bekavac immediately checked behind.

"No c-bet?" asked Bank.

The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and Bank checked again. Bekavac bet 5,000, Bank shrugged and tossed in the call.

The river was the {4-Clubs}, Bank checked one more time. Bekavac put out a chunky 25,500 bet. Bank started talking to himself.

"Big bet...I just want to catch the bluff," mumbled Bank.

"You said call?" asked Bekavac.

"No," responded Bank.

"Oh," said a knowing Bekavac.

"That means he wants me to fold," thought Bank out loud.

"You know what they say, you think long, you think wrong," said Bekavac.

Eventually, Bank did throw his cards away.

Bekavac showed the {3-Spades} for flopped trips.

"I almost got him to call 25k with king-high," quipped Bekavac.
