Black Attacking

During a cigarette break, Andy Black couldn't resist filling us in on a recent hand he played.

"I was just all in during the first level. Again. On a bluff. It's like the fifth tournament in a row I've been all in on a bluff in the first level.

Black recounted the hand. With a raise in front of him, Black called with {7-Spades} {8-Spades}. A third player re-raised, and both Black and the original raiser called.

The flop came {6-?} {9-?} (X) rainbow, and the re-raiser bet 2,500. Both opponents called, and the turn brought a blank. When the aggressor led out with another bet of 7,000, Black moved all in for about 23,000 total. After some deliberation, his opponent surrendered, and Black could exhale.

That's all we had time to hear from him. Just after lighting up his cigarette, Black glanced back into the tournament room. "Oh it's my big blind!" he yelled, chucking his smoke and sprinting back to his nearby table just as the dealer dealt his second card.
