Michaud Shows the Bluff
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Toan Nguyen raised to 2,00 from early position, and once it folded to Igor Kurganov on the button, he made the call. The big blind Vaughn Michaud also called to see a flop.
The flop came 2♣4♦A♥ and Michaud checked to Nguyen who bet 2,500. Kurganov folded, and Michaud made the call.
Both players checked after the 9♦ on the turn.
After the 9♣ on the river, Michaud bet out 5,000. Nguyen decided to throw his cards in the muck and give the pot to Michaud.
After the hand was over Michaud tabled 10♠5♥ to show Nguyen he was bluffing.
