Johnston Picks Off Slater's River Bluff

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Liam Johnston
Liam Johnston

Jacob Mulhern raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Nathan Slater made the call. Liam Johnston then reraised to 8,500, Mulhern folded and Slater called.

The flop came JAQ and both players checked. The turn was the 8 and Slater bet 5,200, which Johnston called.

The river fell the 5 and Slater bet big for 25,000, which represented an all in for his opponent. Johnston went into the tank and looked visibly anguished by the decision.

"This is probably terrible," said Johnston before eventually making the call.

Slater showed 77 for pocket sevens that he'd turned into a bluff. Johnston showed Q10 for a pair of queens and scooped a pot that doubled him up.
