Lisandro Needs a Ruling

Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro

We were counting chips at the center table when a little pot unfolded in front of us. Jeff Lisandro was heads up, and he and his opponent checked through a flop of {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {A-Hearts}. On the {A-Clubs} turn, Lisandro led out with 675 chips, and his opponent quickly matched the bet. The {Q-Clubs} filled out the board, and Lisandro tapped the table. When his opponent checked it back, Lisandro said, "I'm playing the board." The other player's {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} was the winner, then, and Lisandro nodded as he returned his cards to the muck.

"Hey wait. What's the rule there?" he asked. The table looked around at each other, a bit confused. "What's the rule there?" Lisandro repeated. "If I bluff and you call, do you win?" The dealer chuckled and Lisandro let out a big belly laugh, clearly in good spirits. He's got the chips to be chipper too; the un-hatted Aussie is sitting with about 27,000 now.
