Hruby 6-Bet Bluffed for the Fans

[user46392]

When we arrived at the table, there was a bet of 27,500 in front of Jose Severino - a little large for an opening bet at the 1,000/2,000 level, so we are assuming that he had made the opening raise from early position before Martin Hruby reraised from the button, and the 27,500 constituted a four-bet.

So back to Hruby on the button, who now five-bet to 78,600.

And then back to Severino, who six-bet to 122,500.

"Please chip count," said Hruby to the dealer in broken English, indicating Severino's stack. The dealer duly obliged, and told Hruby that Severino had 114,000 behind. Then commenced a long, long period of tankage from Hruby, and eventually he folded. Severino showed him a lowly {a-Clubs} {3-Clubs} . "For the crowd," said passing EPT Vilamoura champion Toby Lewis, "For the fans."
