It Was the Best of Times

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

Before the level changed, Micah Raskin opened to 750 in the cutoff, Chris Brammer called in the small blind, and Matt O'Donnell defended his big blind. The flop fell {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, both Brammer and O'Donnell checked, and Raskin continued for 1,500. Only O'Donnell called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}, O'Donnell checked again, and Raskin fired out 3,000. O'Donnell check-raised to what looked like 10,000 or so, prompting Raskin to fold.

"Now's the best time to show a bluff," Raskin told him.

O'Donnell, who had mucked his cards, reached for one that was retrievable, sweated it, and flipped over the {5-Diamonds} with a grin on his face.
