Zhao Bluffs Chan

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Zhao Yanchao
Zhao Yanchao

A good bluff is not just about throwing chips at a hand, it’s all about telling a believable story and it looks like one man who can spin a good yarn is Zhao Yanchao.

We caught the Chinese player in action in a pot against Justin Chan, who was kind enough to get us up to speed with the action. The community cards were spread {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs} and there was close to 5,000 in the pot already and Chan (middle position) was facing a close to pot-sized Zhao bet of 4,500.

But how did we get here? Well according to Chan he opened the action pre-flop and Zhao had re-raised from the cutoff with Chan the only caller and then Zhao had barreled every street, with Chan calling him down.

It looks like Chan’s resolve waivered at the last though and he eventually found the fold a few seconds after we arrived. Zhao obligingly rolled over {7-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a ballsy stone cold triple barrel bluff. Great stuff.
