Cai Gets the Bluff Through
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Timothy Chung raised to 12,000 from under the gun with K♥Q♠ and got a call from Claudio Gordon in the small blind with K♣J♣. Haoran Cai also defended the big blind with 5♦2♥.
The flop came 6♥4♣2♣ giving Gordon a flush draw and Cai bottom pair with a straight draw. The action checked around the table, taking the players three-ways to the turn.
The K♦ prompted Gordon to bet 33,000, which got a call from Cai and made Chung fold the best hand.
The river came the 8♦ and Gordon bet 65,000. Cai moved all in for 961,000 and got Gordon to fold the better hand.
