Caruso Shows the Bluff

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Christopher Caruso raised to 4,000 in middle position and was called by Kevin Grabel in the hijack and the player in the small blind.

The flop came 27J, the small blind checked, Caruso bet 10,000 and only Grabel continued to the 5 turn.

Caruso put out a big handful of 5,000 denomination chips, enough to put Grabel all in who had about 55,000 behind.

Grabel counted out his chips and took a moment to think through his decision before reluctantly giving up his hand.

Caruso tabled A5 for a pair of fives as the pot was pushed his way.
