Block Not Bluffing
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action opened with a preflop raise to 3,000 from a player in middle position. The hijack called, as did Emil Block from the big blind.
The flop came 5♥8♣10♦, and Block check-called a bet of 4,000 from the player in middle position while the hijack folded. A 4♦ came on the turn. His opponent tossed in a bet of 9,000. The moment those chips hit the table, Block raised enough to put his opponent all in.
"Ahhh," said his opponent. "Okay, show the bluff!" he said while folding and showing A♦J♦. Block turned over 4♥8♥ for two pair as he took down the pot.
