Robl Pulls Monster Bluff
Paul Newey raised to $4,500 in the cutoff, and Matthew Kirk reraised to $18,000 in the small blind. Andrew Robl wanted to play for more and raised it to $50,000 from the big blind. Newey got out of the way, and Kirk put $100,000 in.
Robl opted to call after some thought, and flopped. As has been the norm in many four and five-bet preflop pots at this table, Kirk fired small with $35,000. Robl contemplated a bit before calling, and the arrived on the turn. Kirk bet $50,000 this time, and Robl thought a couple of minutes and counted out his stack. He decided to move all in, and the Australian, who only had $90,000 behind, snap-folded.
Robl tossed into the middle, showing the bluff and causing the table to go wild.
"If it's anything but a f****** ace I'm all in on the turn," Kirk said with disgust, adding that he had nothing as well. "So stupid. It's the only card I don't go all in."
"Look at the glow he has right now," Scott Seiver said of Robl.
