Another Masterpiece from "The Artist"

Ryan Lashmar

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the flop. Players were heads up and the board read 7♣Q♦10♥ with about 20,000 in the middle. The big blind checked and Wesley Fei bet 15,000. His opponent made the call.

Both players checked the 4♠ turn.

On the 9♠ river the player in the big blind led for 17,500. Wesley reraised to 50,000 sending his opponent deep into the tank. After nearly three minutes his opponent opted to fold.

Much like another hand earlier in the night, Wesley slammed A♣A♦J♠9♦ for pocket-aces turned into a bluff on the river.

"Nice hand" The player in the big blind said.

"Why overplay your two-pair? You think I'm stupid?" Wesley asked his opponent as he collected their chips.

"You were ahead right?" Wesley continued.

"Yeah I was ahead" his opponent replied.
