Stegeren Calls River Bluff to Win Huge Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jesse Van Stegeren raised from the button, Albert Nicholas reraised to 12,000 from the small blind and Van Stegeren called.
The flop came 6?J?Q? and both players checked. The turn was the 7?. Nicholas checked, Van Stegeren bet 7,000 and Nicholas called.
The river was the 2?. Nicholas shoved all in for 36,400 and Van Stergeren took a moment to think before making the call.
Nicholas flipped over 8?8? for pocket eights that he'd turned into a bluff. Van Stergeren turned over Q?9? to catch the bluff with a pair of queens. Nicholas was eliminated and Van Stegeren took a huge pot to put himself among the chip leaders.
