Hoenig Sniffs Out a Bluff; Hits the Ropes After

Hassan Kamel limped in and Ryan Hoenig checked. On the Q♣7♣4♥ flop, Hoenig check-called for 150,000 and the K♠ turn went check, check. Hoenig checked the Q♥ river and folded when Kamel bet 600,000.

Hoenig then limped in and Kamel raised to 300,000 for his opponent to call. Kamel bet the A♠Q♦8♣ flop for 225,000 to earn a call and potted the J♦ turn, Hoenig got it in and Kamel called.

Ryan Hoenig: 9♦7♦4♣2♣
Hassan Kamel: Q♠Q♣4♦3♣

The 5♥ river saved Hoenig with a chop.

Hoenig then called a river bet with 400,000 on the 9♣5♥2♣K♣3♣ board with the words "you gotta be bluffing sometimes". Kamel was indeed with the Q♣J♦10♥4♦ as Hoenig won the pot with the K♠J♣5♦4♠.

Kamel limped in soon after and Hoenig raised to 300,000, Kamel limp-raised to 900,000 and Hoenig called. The Q♠5♦5♥ flop brought a check from Hoenig and he checked to a bet worth 400,000.
