Riise Shows an Early Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Junior Ferreira opened to 400 from under the gun and John Arne Riise called in the cutoff. Denis Nagatoma reraised to 2,500 on the button and only Riise called. They went heads-up to a flop of 7♥5♣4♣ and Riise check-called a bet of 2,000 from Nagatoma.
The 7♦ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the K♥ on the river. Riise put together a bet of 6,500 and Nagatoma gave it some thought but decided to fold. Riise threw his 10♣9♣ face up into the middle as he was awarded the pot.
