Gutierrez Sniffs Out a Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player opened the cutoff to 3,000 and Oscar Gutierrez called on the button. The small blind then three-bet to 11,500 and only Gutierrez called.
On the K♠K♦9♥ flop, the small blind continued for 5,000 and Gutierrez flicked in the call.
The turn brought the 4♣. The small blind fired again for 15,500 and Gutierrez took some chip inventory before he cut out the call.
On the K♥ river, the small blind quickly bet 30,000. Gutierrez, with 35,000 back, got curious after a minute's tank as he called off the majority of his stack.
Small blind: A♠5♥
Oscar Gutierrez: A♦Q♠
Both players held ace-high but Gutierrez's kicker played as he dragged a huge pot with an impressive hero-call.
