Carroll Shows the Bluff
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Thomas Carroll and Nikhil Sunku took turns relaying the details from a hand to the PokerNews team.
Just before the last break, Carroll raised before the flop and received two callers. The dealer fanned out Jx9x6x and Carroll tossed out a bet. Sunku raised and Carroll called to see 9x on the turn.
Carroll fired 1,500 and called when Sunku raised to 5,000.
The river was 3x and Carroll fired 17,000. That was enough to get Sunku to fold and take the pot before Carroll showed Qx8x.
"I told him that if he called I'd show the nuts, and if he folded I'd show a bluff," Carroll said.
