Massive Bluff Sees Eldridge Extend Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
David Eldridge opened to 3,000,000 on the button with A♦10♠7♠7♦ and Brian Rast defended in the big blind holding K♣10♣6♠3♠.
Action checked through the 6♥2♣9♦ flop to the 4♠ turn. Rast led out for 2,500,000 and Eldridge called.
Rast bet again on the 5♦ river, this time making it 7,000,000. Eldridge responded by moving all in with the covering stack. That did not sit well with Rast as he went over his opponent's possible holdings out loud. After discarding the nut straight as an option, Rast still could not make the call to leave himself short as Eldridge's continued aggression yielded positive results.
