Marvin Karlins With the Accidental Verbal Bluff

Level 2 : 200/400, 100 ante

Marvin Karlins

Jason Mercier opened with a raise to 1,100. Next to act was Marvin Karlins. He raised to 3,000. Darren Elias called from the big blind. Action was back to Mercier and he folded.

Both Elias and Karlins took one card. Karlins checked in the dark. Elias looked at his card, then bet 4,000. Karlins took a look at his draw, then called.

"I have a ten-eight," Karlins said. Elias pitched his cards in, but Karlins turned up {10-}{6-}{6-}{3-}{2-} for a pair of sixes, not a ten-eight.

Elias then retrieved his hand. He showed {7-}{7-}, then kicked his hand back into the muck, showing that he was beat either way.

"That's why I turned my hand up," Karlins said. "I've got bad eyes. I really did think I had a ten-eight."

Karlins was pushed the pot and the rest of the table just laughed.
