Ferrari Shows Heart of a Lion with Huge Bluff
Morten Lie opened to 500,000 under the gun with A♠K♠, and Manuel Ferrari defended the big blind with 9♣8♦.
On the 7♣5♠4♣ flop, Ferrari led out with a bet of 375,000 and Lie called.
The A♣ hit on the turn to give Lie a pair, and Ferrari check-raised to 2,400,000 in the face of a bet of 1,000,000 from Lie. Lie called after some thought.
The 10♥ river completed the board, giving Lie the check mark, and Ferrari decided to go for the bluff with no showdown value, firing out a bet of 7,500,000.
Lie had 10,950,000 behind, and went deep into the tank, clasping his hands together over his face, and thinking through the hand.
He completely unblocked the flush, and that may have ultimately been the reason he decided to send top pair to the muck. An epic bluff from Ferrari.
