Beresford's Final Barrel
Matthew Khouri opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,500. Conor Beresford was enjoying a nice glass of wine in the big blind and decided to bump it up to 8,800. Khouri made the call and a flop was dealt.
6♥6♦9♦ emerged from the deck, on which Beresford made a continuation-bet of 6,500. Khouri was not ready to let go and made the call.
The 9♥ turn was checked by both players before Beresford took a good look at his cards again on the 10♣ river. What he saw apparently prompted him to go all in for his last 18,400 chips. Khouri, who only played 2,800 more, asked for a count. After the amount was confirmed, he made the call.
Beresford tabled K♣7♠ for the bluff with his king kicker, but Khouri had the better hand with A♣Q♣ for an ace kicker. ''Of course,'' Beresford exclaimed, as he left to enjoy the rest of his wine elsewhere.
