Piercey Shows the Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Trung Pham raised to 900 under the gun, the player in middle position flatted, and Derek Piercey three-bet to 3,200 on the button. Only Pham called.
The flop of K♦2♥Q♣ checked through to the 10♠ turn, where Pham led out for 2,000. Piercey raised to 5,000 and Pham made the call.
The river landed the 9♥, Pham checked, and Piercey moved all in for 31,100 to put himself at risk. Pham thought for a moment before giving up his hand and Piercey showed the bluff with 8♣2♠.
