Leary Bluffs it Off

Level 11 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop Fabio Sperling check-called a bet of 15,000 from James Leary. The turn was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {k-Diamonds} and Sperling checked to Leary who nonchalantly threw out a 25,000 chip.

Sperling thought for a while before calling. Leary went to muck face down, but eventually turned over {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} just in case it was good. It wasn't. Sperling showed {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for ace-high and took down the pot.

Fabio Sperling raised to 8,000 from early position and Vishal Maini moved all in for 45,000.

James Leary called Maini's all-in before Sperling also called.

Maini: {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Sperling: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

Maini's trip nines were enough for him to treble his stack up to 140,000.
