Jeff Platt three-bet from middle position to 3,200 and Thon Kong called from the small blind. The original raiser from under-the-gun in seat two also called.

The turn was the {a-Spades} and both players checked to the river {8-Hearts}. Kong led for 6,000 and Platt called.

Kong revealed {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a bluff and Platt tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for aces up and the winner.
