Hancock Starts Off by Picking Off a Bluff

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kendall Hancock had just taken his seat in the tournament and limped in from early position on his first hand. Karen Brown also called in the cutoff, while Dylan Murrell then raised to 1,600 on the button. Kevin Elwood in the big blind, Hancock, and Brown all called.

All four players checked the 8♥4♣Q♦ flop, and Elwood then bet 2,600 on the 3♣ turn. Only Hancock called. Elwood then bet 6,000 on the 8♠ river, and Hancock again called.

"I missed," Elwood said, and Hancock showed 9♠9♦ to win the pot.
