Alexander Shows a Big Bluff
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
In a raised pot, Matt Alexander bet 1,700 from late position and saw Ernest Garrett check-raise to 4,000 on a flop. Alexander responded by putting Garrett, who made the final table of Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces a couple of weeks ago, all in for about 16,000 total. Garrett hemmed and hawed, putting his face in his hands.
"You got kings?" he asked. "You just have an overpair or do you have that seven?"
He mucked what he claimed was aces, and Alexander quickly flipped for an airball before dragging the pot.
"Great bet, dude," Garrett said.
