All-In Bluff Meets a Draw
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Longmao Fan in the small blind, and he raised to 90,000, with Luis Faria calling from the big blind.
The flop came 5♥J♣K♣, and Fan continued for 70,000. Faria stuck around to see the 8♠ turn.
Fan quickly sized up Faria’s stack on the turn before moving all-in, putting Faria’s tournament life at risk. With a stack of 480,000, Faria burned through four time bank cards before making the call. He tabled Q♣10♣ for a straight flush draw, while Fan showed 7♠4♠ for a gutshot.
The river brought the 5♦, helping neither player, and Faria doubled up with queen high.
