Polk Shows a Bluff
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading J♣3♠6♠ and players heads up. Doug Polk checked from the big blind and called a 30,000 bet from his opponent in early position.
Both players checked the J♥ turn.
On the 7♥ river Polk bet 180,000 into a pot of 125,000, sending his opponent briefly into the tank.
After about a minute the early position player folded and Polk received a decent pot uncontested.
"Show the bluff" the early position player asked.
Polk obliged, tabling 6♣4♣ for a small pair on the flop turned into a bluff by the river.
