Antar Gets a Bluff Through
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joseph Antar limped in from the cutoff with Q♠J♣, and Kahle Burns also called on the button. Noel Jaber completed from the small blind holding J♦8♥ and Joshua McSwiney just folded from the big blind, not realizing people had limped.
The flop came 9♥5♥2♠ and all three checked to the 8♣ turn, where Jaber fired 55,000. Antar called and Burns folded.
The 5♠ filled out the board and Jaber checked, then Antar went with a pot-sized bet of 330,000. Jaber was talking to himself for some time before he finally elected to fold his eight, alloiwng Antar to claim the pot.
