Lin Shows Karam His Bluff
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Hala Karam open-raised to 1,000 from middle position, Ren Lin three-bet to 3,200 from the hijack and Karam called.
The flop came 3♥K♦J♥ and Karam checked. Lin bet 1,000 and Karam quickly called.
"Oh, snap call!" said Lin.
The turn was the 6♠ and Karam checked. Lin bet 8,000 and said "not bluff this time."
Karam asked if Lin would show one. Lin agreed and Karam folded her hand. Lin was about to muck, but Karam jumped out of her seat.
"You promised!" said Karam, who prompted Lin to show and revealed her own hand in exchange. Karam had AxQx and Lin showed 7♠4♠ for a bluff.
"I knew it!" said Karam.
"Ace-queen, you cannot call," replied Lin as he dragged in the pot.
