Palma Bluffs Phan Then Pays Off Rost
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With over 50,000 chips in the middle on a board of 3♥A♣5♣9♥5♥, Nick Palma had shoved the river for around 40,000 into Lynn Phan. It took a while for Phan to make a decision but eventually she folded and flashed the A♠ to the table. Palma then immediately tabled K♣Q♦ for a bluff, and raked in the pot.
In the next hand, Justin Rost limped under the gun and Aditya Systla made it 9,000 on the button. Palma called from the big blind, and Rost also called.
The three players saw a flop of 5♥6♣5♠ which was checked to the 3♠ turn. Palma bet 7,500, and only Rost called.
On the K♥ river, Palma checked, Rost bet 9,000, and Palma eventually called.
Rost showed K♦4♦ for a rivered pair of kings, and Palma mucked.
