Palovic Is Shown the Bluff
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 200 ante
Online qualifier Mathieu Thiry opened to 5,200 and Dag Palovic in the hijack and the gentleman in the small blind both called, before the big blind made it 19,000 to go. Palovic was the only caller.
The big blind gentleman bet out 18,000 on the flop and Palovic snap-called; he bet out another 28,000 on the turn and again the Team PokerStars Pro laconically dropped the call across the line without a moment's pause. They saw a river and this time they both checked.
"Show me the bluff!" said Palovic - and duly his opponent turned over . Palovic flipped and took the pot. "I was calling at the end because of TV," said the cheerful Palovic, "If you push I call."
Palovic is now very comfortable on 280,000.
