Taylor Shows the Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Nicholas Maimone opened to 600 from the hijack and was called by Stuart Taylor in the cutoff.
The flop came J♣4♣7♦. Maimone bet 600, Taylor raised to 2,400 and Maimone called.
Maimone check-called a 3,800 bet from Taylor on the 5♠ turn leading to the A♥ river. Maimone checked, Taylor bet 11,000 and after about a minute Maimone decided to fold.
"Missed double belly-buster. Nine-high like a boss," Taylor announced before showing 9♠8♠ for the missed draw turned into a bluff.
"No guts, no glory," Johnny Chan, who was at the same table, commented as Taylor dragged in the pot.
