Kidas Shows a Big Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Athanasios Kidas opened to 1,000 from under the gun and called when Erguen Sertkan three-bet to 3,000. Kidas check-called for a small bet on the 10♦K♦3♥ flop, bringing in the 8♥ turn. Kidas led out for 5,100 and called when Sertkan raised to 17,500.
The Q♦ completed the board, and Kidas led out again for 30,000. Sertkan went into the tank but audibly gave his opponent credit for the flush and folded.
Kidas proudly turned over 7♥5♥ for a complete airball which raised the eyebrows of David Miscikowski, who is at the table.
"Fool me one time," laughed Sertkan as he gave Kidas credit for his betting line.
