Cheong Picks Off a Bluff From Hernandez

Level 20 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Joseph Cheong opened on the button with a raise to 100,000. Laz Hernandez called in the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Hernandez checked. Cheong put out a bet of 85,000 and Hernandez called.

On the {J-Spades} turn, both players checked and the {8-Spades} came on the river. Hernandez put out a bet of 165,000 and Cheong thought for a bit before calling.

Hernandez showed his {K-Clubs}, implying that was his playing card and Cheong turned up {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a straight, allowing him to collect the pot and move over a million chips.
