Mandara Calls Surprising Bluff

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was on the river with the board reading {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} as Ryan Madara had made a bet of about 22,000. He was raised by Amer Kasbo to about 48,000.

Mandara took a few moments before he called. Kasbo said "ace high". Mandara tabled the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} set for the winner.

"My hand was too good to fold but I definitely didn't expect a bluff" said Mandara, discussing the hand as he collected the chips.
