Amazing Bluff by Ngan
Yung Hon Ngan opened for 45,000 in the cut-off, the button folded and Jen Yue Chiang in the small blind paused before raising to 92,000. The big blind folded and it was back on Ngan.
He riffled his chips before putting out a 4-bet of 200,000. Now it was back on Chiang and he wasn’t in the mood to back down. The 5-bet was on, the chips over the line. The bet was 400,000 to Ngan.
“All in.” Was Ngan’s reaponse.
“How much total?” Asked Chiang. The answer was 862,000.
Chiang shook his head and separated his stack out, figuring out his odds. He looked over at Ngan and once more checked his cards. Reluctantly he surrendered them to the dealer. A fold.
Ngan threw his cards in the middle face up to gasps of admiration.
“Wow. Great play.” Congratulated Mickey “The work” Wernick. “I taught you well kid, but not that well. What an amazing play.”
Amazing indeed.
