Davenport Shows a Wild Bluff
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Eusebiu Jalba opened to 500,000 from the button and Matthew Davenport three-bet to 2,050,000 from the big blind. Jalba made the call.
The flop came K♣6♠3♥ and Davenport fired a 1,150,000 continuation bet that was called by Jalba.
Jalba called another bet from Davenport on the J♦ turn, this time for 1,400,000.
The river was the 2♥ and Davenport moved all in for 6,825,000, sending Jalba, who covered Davenport slightly, deep into the tank. Davenport remained motionless as Jalba worked through what was clearly a difficult decision for several minutes.
Eventually Jalba sent his cards into the muck. Davenport showed that he had 7♦4♦ for just seven high and a missed gutshot straight draw and before scooping a massive pot without showdown.
