State Sniffs Out a Bluff

Tim Baker

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 3,000 and was immediately three-bet to 10,000 by Adrian State on the button. The cutoff player called.

Action checked to State on the 4♣Q♥4♥ flop, and he continued for 5,000. His opponent called.

Both players checked the 2♦ turn before the 2♠ completed the board. The cutoff player led out for 13,000, and State called.

State's opponent shook his head before sliding his cards face down into the muck, allowing State to take down the pot without having to show.
