Shanahan Gets a Bluff Through

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante
Mike Shanahan
Mike Shanahan

Mike Shanahan and Darryl Ronconi had built a big pot of around 30,000 up, and the full {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board was already on the felt. Shanahan announced, "All in," from early position, putting Ronconi to the test for his last 18,000 from the button.

Ronconi double-checked his hand and paused for a moment, before throwing his hand to the muck.

Shanahan flipped over {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a bluff, and Ronconi said, "What'd he show?" Upon seeing that Shanahan held just ten-high, he nodded and said, "Nice bet."
