Woods Gets Away With a Big Bluff
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui led out for around 10,000 from the big blind on a flop of A♦5♦2♣ before john Woods raised to 30,000 in early position.
Chaoui called and the A♣ fell on the turn. Woods then bet another 20,000 and Chaoui called.
The river was the Q♠ and Woods moved all in. Chaoui, with around 70,000 remaining, then spent several minutes in the tank as he pondered the call for his tournament life.
"Where are you from?" he asked Woods, who remained silent.
"Smile and I call," Chaoui added. He eventually slid his cards back to the dealer and Woods turned over 10♠9♠ as he took the pot.
