Altman Bluffs Three Streets
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Brian Altman opened to 1,600 on the button and David Stevens called in the small blind, while the big blind also came along.
Stevens and the big blind checked on the flop of 
and Altman bet 1,300. Both opponents called. Both opponents checked again on the 
turn and Altman sized up to 4,500. Only Stevens called.
Stevens checked a third time on the 
river and Altman sat still for over a minute before betting about 23,000 with less than that in the pot. Stevens gave it some thought and called.
Altman showed 
for just ace-high and Stevens turned over the winner with
