Jalba Shows the Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Eusebiu Jalba opened to 900 from middle position and was called by Shakhabiddin Muradov in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 2♣9♣10♣ flop and Muradov led out for 1,000 on the 3♣ turn. Jalba called.
Muradov fired 3,000 into the middle after the 9♦ completed the board and Jalba cut out a raise to 10,500 and placed it into the middle.
Muradov tanked a while and showed the Q♣ as he sent his hand into the muck.
"I was bluffing you," Jalba said as he tabled K♠9♠.
"Good bluff," Muradov responded.
