Neilson Three-Bet Bluff Shoves the River

Level 30 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Johan Lees made it 700,000 with Q9 and Daniel Neilson called holding J4 to see a flop of 34K, where Neilson check-called a bet of 500,000 from Lees.

A 7 on the turn went check-check to the 9 river, where Neilson bet 900,000. Lees took some time before he counted out a raise of 3,500,000. Neilson looked at the board for a few moments then shoved all in, giving Lees a test for his remaining 10,000,000.

Lees propped himself up on his chair while he tried to piece together the hand, but seemed in agony while he did so. Eventually, after over five minutes in the tank, Lees did fold, and Neilson's bluff got through.
