Sick Break Bluff

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

With just minutes to go before the first break, table ten saw a five way limped pot.

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The blinds checked and Jack Salter decided he would claim the pot with a bet of 1,500. He was called by Christopher Day but Mick Graydon was hiding in the small blind ready with a three bet to 3,200. Salter quickly got out of the way.

The action was back on Day who decided to get frisky with the old 4-bet to 6,800.

Without much hesitation Graydon slid forward a tower of all his high denomination chips. The bet was enough to put Day out of the tournament if he called and lost.

As Day thought, the twenty minute break was called and the rest of the players left them to it, not interested enough in the outcome to waste a precious minute.

Day’s headphones went into the bag at his side. A few more minutes ticked away. If he folds now he can still have the majority of the break and still be alive in the tournament.

With a sigh he pushed his cards towards the dealer.

“Please show the bluff?” Day asked Graydon.

Graydon showed the {10-Spades}

Day then retrieved his own cards from the dealer and turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Level upon level. At least they can both enjoy their break.
