Hamou Catches a Bluff

Ryan Lashmar

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Samy Hamou limped in from under the gun and was followed by limps from Guillaume Darcourt in early position, Damien Luis in the hijack and Ferreol Motte in the small blind before Christophe Colantoni checked in the big blind.

All five players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of 2?K?K?9?5?. Action then checked around to Luis who bet 3,000. All players folded except for Hamou who made the call.

Luis showed Q?10? for a bluff while Hamou tabled 8?8? for two pair, kings and eights to take the pot.
