You Know That He Knows What You Know

After Kathy Liebert had only raised to 1,500 preflop a couple of times, Rafi Amit decided to do the same from late position. "Only 1,500?" asked Liebert from the small blind. "I learn from the best," replied Amit.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}

. Liebert checked, Amit bet 1,500 (again), and Liebert called. The turn was the {A-Hearts}

, and both players checked. The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}

. Liebert checked, Amit bet 6,000, and Liebert paused to think.

"You must call," said Amit. "Two nines are the best hand."

"They are?" Liebert replied.

"In your head they are," he said. "So you must call."

Liebert folded, showing two of her cards: {9-Diamonds}
