Bluffing Antonius is a Dangerous Game...

[user46298]

A big pot developed between under-the-gun raiser Max Katz and caller Patrik Antonius. No words in this confrontation, just lingering looks and slow, deliberate actions.

Flop: {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

Katz bet out 4,000; call from Antonius.
Turn: {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

Katz bet out 12k; call from Antonius.
River: {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

Katz bet out 25k now....call from Antonius, who showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Max Katz placidly revealed the surprising {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and watched his stack more than halve as the river card pretty much lowered those chances he might have had to bluff his opponent.

Antonius -- 157,000
Katz -- 36,000
