Hinkle Wasn't Sure if He Was Bluffing
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Mason Hinkle bet 11,000 from late position on a 4♠3♦5♣ and Allen Li-Xin Shen called from the button.
When the turn came 3♠, Hinkle put all 27,700 of his remaining chips in the middle. Shen tanked for three minutes, separating out the calling chips, and then putting them back in his stack as he stared down Hinkle and the flop.
Eventually he released and asked Hinkle if he had been bluffing. "As you were thinking about the call," replied Hinkle, "I wasn't sure if I was bluffing or had the best hand."
