Is Eight-High Any Good?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Hiding his face in shame!

Peter Jetten raises to 17,000, and Isaac Haxton calls him out of the blinds. This behaviour leads them to a {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

flop.

Haxton now leads for 22,000, and Jetten has a very intense look of innocent concentration on his face as he stares Haxton down. He calls.

Turn: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

-- now Haxton leads out for 60,000. Jetten looks almost hurt, but calls. He hasn't shifted his gaze from Haxton yet.

River: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

-- and now they both check. "Er, is eight-high any good?" hazards Haxton. He knows the answer already, though -- Jetten shows {A-?}

{A-?}

{Q-?}

to take it down and Haxton shows {7-?}

{7-?}

{8-?}

for a bluff that's cost him pretty big.
