Porter Picks Off the Bluff
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joshua Kuncher raised to 10,000 in early position, Roy Kim flatted on the button, and Andrew Porter defended in the big blind.
The flop of 8♣3♥4♥ checked through to the 7♣ turn where Porter led out for 10,000. Kuncher called and Kim got out of the way.
On the 7♥ river, Porter bet 26,000 and Kuncher moved all in for 80,000 to put himself at risk. Clearly faced with a tough decision, Porter took a moment to think.
He eventually made the call and tabled 7♦2♦ for trip sevens, besting the A♥Q♦ of Kuncher who was sent packing.
