Amsellem Starts Out Bluffing, Gets There on the River

David Salituro

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With around 80,000 in the pot on a flop of 7?K?9?, Jacob Amsellem bet 30,000 from the small blind and Thomas Clack called on the button.

The turn came the 6? and Amsellem bet 65,000. Clack again called and the 10? fell on the river.

Amsellem then moved all in for 75,000, sending Clack deep into the tank. More than five minutes came off the clock as Clack apologized to his tablemates for taking so long.

He eventually called and Amsellem turned over A?8?. "Wow," several players at the table yelled out as Amsellem had made a running straight on the river. Clack mucked J?J? as he handed over most of his stack, shaking his head as Amsellem raked in the pot.
