Garp Picks Off Im

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Around 50,000 was already in the middle as Tobias Garp and Youngshin Im went to the river on a board of 7♠3♦10♥3♥7♥. Garp, in the big blind, then bet 12,500.

Im moved all in for 42,000 in the cutoff and Garp tanked for more than a minute before calling. Im showed 10♦9♦ for two pair, but Garp had A♥2♥ for a flush to send her to the rail.

"I didn't think there was any ten-x for value," Garp said.

"That wasn't value. It was a bluff," tablemate Thomas Eychenne added.
