Late Night Bluff

Like a shark sensing blood, I knew there was a big pot brewing nearby, and when I trundled into the heart of the card room, I spotted Scott Montgomery entwined in a late-night waltz with an unknown assailant.

With 30,000 already in the pot, and a board of {7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Scott Montgomery led for 18,000. His foe, a young, innocent looking lady, mulled over her options briefly before pushing in for a total of 45,100.

A grimace from Montgomery told the initial story, but as he began to deliberate, the possibility of a call became more and more likely. However, even though he ate up the majority of the last five minutes, he did indeed fold, allowing his triumphant foe to reveal {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, much to the muted delight of the rest of the table.
