Runcan Attempts an Audacious Bluff
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With around 100,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 6♦2♦5♣, Kianoosh Matin bet 55,000 from middle position and Paul Runcan called from the cutoff.
They went to a K♣ turn where Matin quickly put out a big bet of 200,000, and Runcan just as quickly called.
When the Q♥ hit the river, Matin went small with a bet of 55,000 and then immediately stood up and started to stretch while Runcan was considering his options. After some time, Runcan slid in a stack of chips for a min-raise of 110,000.
"You call? No? How much?" asked Matin. After getting the count, he tossed in the extra 55,000 chips.
Runcan then sheepishly turned over 9♣8♣ for a busted combo draw, and Matin's K♠5♠ was good for the pot with two pair.
