Heinz Topples Big Slick; Palma Forgets Cardinal Rule
Level 2
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Quirin Heinz opened to 6,000 in early position and Matheus Machado three-bet to 28,000. Heinz called.
Heinz checked on the flop of 10x6♣8x, and Machado bet 26,000. Heinz called. Both players then checked on the 3♠ turn.
Heinz checked once more on the Q♥ river, and Machado bet 110,000. Heinz used a time bank and called. Machado could only show ace-high with A♠K♥, while Heinz showed J♣10♣ to win the pot with a pair of tens.
At the same table, Nick Palma lamented about a previously played hand.
"I forgot the cardinal rule: never bluff a fish. What am I doing?"
