Larsen Bluffs Grafton on River
Sam Grafton kicked off the action with a raise to 1,100 from the hijack and Birger Larsen called in the cutoff.
The flop came 8?Q?3? and Grafton made a continuation bet of 1,100, which Larsen called. Grafton fired again on the 5? turn, betting 3,500. Larsen called again to take the hand to the river.
On the 5? river, Grafton checked to Larsen, who placed out a bet of 8,500. Grafton thought for a moment, peeled his cards, scratched his face, checked his cards again, played with his chips, looked once more at his cards, then shrugged and folded, showing the 8?.
"Nice hand," said Grafton. But Larsen commented that he didn't have much. Players prodded at Larsen to show one card in return, so he flipped over the A?, then decided to show both and revealed the 10? to show that he was bluffing.
