Santos Gets a Big Bluff Through
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Heads-up on the turn with around 25,000 in the pot and the board showing K?10?2?7?, a player in the cutoff bet 10,000 and Eduardo Santos called in the hijack.
The river was the 8? and Santos bet 24,000, enough to put his opponent all in. The cutoff tanked for nearly five minutes. "You show, I show?" he eventually asked as he mucked. Santos agreed and the cutoff showed ace-king.
"Ace-queen," a tablemate said, and Santos, sure enough, showed A?Q? for a bluff as he took the pot.
At the same table, Adrian Govea has built up a stack of around 140,000.
