Is Eight-High Any Good?

[user46392]

Hiding his face in shame!

Peter Jetten raises to 17,000, and Isaac Haxton calls him out of the blinds. This behaviour leads them to a {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

flop.

Haxton now leads for 22,000, and Jetten has a very intense look of innocent concentration on his face as he stares Haxton down. He calls.

Turn: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

-- now Haxton leads out for 60,000. Jetten looks almost hurt, but calls. He hasn't shifted his gaze from Haxton yet.

River: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

-- and now they both check. "Er, is eight-high any good?" hazards Haxton. He knows the answer already, though -- Jetten shows {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

to take it down and Haxton shows {7-?}

{7-?}

{8-?}

for a bluff that's cost him pretty big.
