Grafton Can't Bluff Antonius
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Patrik Antonius who limped in from the button, as did small blind Sam Grafton. Jean-Noel Thorel checked his option and they went three-handed to the 3♠3♥6♠ flop.
Grafton and Thorel checked over to Antonius who bet 11,000. Both opponents called to the 9♠ turn where action was checked through to the river.
The dealer turned over the 7♦ and Grafton led out for 75,000. Thorel quickly folded, but Antonius went into the tank. He looked over at Grafton and began laughing before tossing in a chip to signify a call.
Grafton showed A♠4♣ for a bluff and Antonius turned over 9♦7♥ to win the pot with two pair.
"I never manage to bluff you. Not once," Grafton said. "The first time I do I'm going to slam it down."
