Read Pulls off the "Bluff" of the Tournament
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a flop of J♥6♥4♣ in a single-raised pot, Chris Read bet 7,500 from early position before her opponent in the cutoff raised to 40,000, leaving just 11,000 behind. Read took some time before she opted to put in the call.
Her opponent mistakenly tabled Q♥J♦, forgetting that he had left some chips behind. He took his cards back and the hand continued.
On the 2♣ turn, Read quickly pushed a stack forward to ask for the remainder of her opponent's 11,000 stack, and he immediately folded the hand, face up once again.
Read windmilled Q♠J♣ in front of her, successfully getting the cutoff off of a chop, much to the delight of the entire table who laughed as Read scooped a confusing pot.
