Merk's Bold Bluff or Nut Flush?
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
PokerNews caught the action with the board showing 6♠Q♦8♦3♦ and around 2,000 in the pot. Abby Merk, sitting in the small blind, checked, and her opponent bet 1,600 from the cutoff. Merk raised to 3,500, and her opponent called.
The dealer turned the 8♥ on the river, and Merk, first to act, bet 7,000. Her opponent folded.
"Nut flush," Merk commented without showing her cards, leaving many skeptical faces at the table and prompting another player to assume she was bluffing.
