Taylor Shows the Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Nicholas Maimone opened to 600 from the hijack and was called by Stuart Taylor in the cutoff.
The flop came J?4?7?. Maimone bet 600, Taylor raised to 2,400 and Maimone called.
Maimone check-called a 3,800 bet from Taylor on the 5? turn leading to the A? river. Maimone checked, Taylor bet 11,000 and after about a minute Maimone decided to fold.
"Missed double belly-buster. Nine-high like a boss," Taylor announced before showing 9?8? for the missed draw turned into a bluff.
"No guts, no glory," Johnny Chan, who was at the same table, commented as Taylor dragged in the pot.
