"I Had to Show"

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Shankar Pillai opened to 125 in middle position, Shawn Buchanan three-bet to 300 near the button, and the action folded back to Pillai, who called.

The dealer fanned {7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and Pillai checked. Buchanan tossed out a bet, and Pillai folded.

"Show the bluff!" Buchanan exclaimed, mucking the {q-Diamonds} face-up. "Turn the other one over."

A player in the six seat obliged, and it was the case queen; the {q-Clubs}.

"I had to show that," Buchanan said smiling.
