Zamani Shows the Bluff

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Korey Payne opened in the small blind to 260,000 and received a call from Martin Zamani, who defended his big blind. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Payne made a continuation-bet of 125,000. Zamani called, stating he was a gambler.

The turn came {2-Clubs} and Payne checked. Zamani put out a bet of 300,000 and Payne check-raised to 800,000. Zamani cut out three stacks of 100K-chips at three tall and then looked up to the dealer as he pulled one chip off of the last stack. He once again mentioned gambling and hoping to get lucky.

The dealer burned and turned the river {8-Clubs} to bring a fourth club on board and Payne checked. Zamani made a bet of 1.4 million, which the dealer announced, and Payne went into the tank.

A while later, Payne flashed {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to the table as he folded it, and Zamani returned the favor, showing {q-Spades}{2-Spades} for a worse two pair that he successfully turned into a bluff to earn the pot.
