Getzwiller Good With King High

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Continuing a pattern of passive preflop play between these two players Sean Getzwiller limped in on his button and Sadan Turker elected to check in the big blind.

The flop fell {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Turker check-called a bet of 100,000 by Getzwiller. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn brought checks by both players and and after the {8-Spades} on the river, the two checked it down. Getzwiller showed his {K-Hearts}{2-Spades} for king high and took the small pot.

Getzwiller Getting Frisky

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

After Sadan Turker raised to 260,000 from the button, Sean Getzwiller made the call and the dealer flopped {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Both players checked and the turn fell {8-Clubs}.

Getzwiller checked again but this time Turker took the initiative, sliding 300,000 into the middle. Getzwiller came along and the river card was the {9-Spades}.

After another check by Getzwiller, Turker fired out a bet of 625,000, which was one of the largest bets so far during heads-up play. Getzwiller thought it over for a minute or so before opting to check-raise to 1,250,000. Turker went into the tank and counted out the chips needed for the call, appearing ready to put them in the pot before eventually deciding to release his hand.

A wry grin spread over Getzwiller's face and he flashed his {K-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to his supporters in the audience, before adding the large pot to his stack. The pure bluff was executed perfectly, as Getzwillers min-raise on the river looked like a value bet begging for a call.
