Nordberg Bluff-Catches

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Malta Poker Festival
Malta Poker Festival

Mats Norderg opened to 3,500 from the hijack, and received calls from Vincent De Luca on the button, and Kevin Quinlan and Pierre Chambon in the blinds.

The flop was a freaky 666, and action was checked to Nordberg, who was undeterred by the sign of the beast, and fired out an appropriate bet of 6,000.

Only Quinlan called to see the 9 turn, which was checked to the 7 river. Quinlan led out with a bet of 10,500, and Nordberg called after a fair bit of thought.

Quinlan tabled KJ for king-jack high to compliment the board trips, but Nordberg had found a good call with AQ.

Quinlan was left with 25,000, but was seen exiting the tournament area not long after this hand.
