Lacroix Picks Off a Bluff
Level 19
: Blinds 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante
The player under the gun raised to 15,000, the cutoff called, as did Arthur Lacroix, in the big blind.
All three players checked to the river as the full board read K♠8♣9♥J♥J♦. Once checked to, the under the gun player placed a delayed continuation bet of 16,000. The cutoff folded and Lacroix went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before finally making the call.
The player under the gun tabled 2♣2♥ for an under pair to the board, while Lacroix claimed this pot with 9♦7♣, for just a pair of nines.
