Wilson Shows the Bluff

Richard Hayes

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Around 50,000 was in the middle already on a completed board of A?9?8?8?K?, in a hand between Chase Wilson and Michael Allen.

Wilson fired out a bet of 25,000, and Allen went into the tank. After intimating he had top two pair, and wondering if his opponent had "chosen violence" this late in the day, Allen reluctantly disposed of his hand.

Wilson tabled 7?6? for seven-high, and Allen tapped the table, saying, "Ahh you did choose violence!"

There must have been some prior history between the players, as when a tablemate said, "Nice bluff," Wilson responded "Well I had to get him back for earlier didn't I?" to which Allen laughed, responding, "That's what I was thinking! Nice bluff."
