Davenport Shows a Wild Bluff
Level 30
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Eusebiu Jalba opened to 500,000 from the button and Matthew Davenport three-bet to 2,050,000 from the big blind. Jalba made the call.
The flop came K?6?3? and Davenport fired a 1,150,000 continuation bet that was called by Jalba.
Jalba called another bet from Davenport on the J? turn, this time for 1,400,000.
The river was the 2? and Davenport moved all in for 6,825,000, sending Jalba, who covered Davenport slightly, deep into the tank. Davenport remained motionless as Jalba worked through what was clearly a difficult decision for several minutes.
Eventually Jalba sent his cards into the muck. Davenport showed that he had 7?4? for just seven high and a missed gutshot straight draw and before scooping a massive pot without showdown.
