Santos Gets a Big Bluff Through
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Heads-up on the turn with around 25,000 in the pot and the board showing K♦10♥2♠7♠, a player in the cutoff bet 10,000 and Eduardo Santos called in the hijack.
The river was the 8♣ and Santos bet 24,000, enough to put his opponent all in. The cutoff tanked for nearly five minutes. "You show, I show?" he eventually asked as he mucked. Santos agreed and the cutoff showed ace-king.
"Ace-queen," a tablemate said, and Santos, sure enough, showed A♥Q♥ for a bluff as he took the pot.
At the same table, Adrian Govea has built up a stack of around 140,000.
