Skorching Bluff

Willy Korchia took down a pot equalling over a third of his stack with a very large river bet on a board of {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades}. His 9,500 bet on the rivered five put his opponent so deep into the tank he may have needed one of those exploratory bubble-ships, but his final decision was to tap the table and fold. Korchia, whose jacket proclaims his interest in "Team Combatants du Coeur" showed he had plenty of coeur there as he flipped over his {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} with a bit of a flourish. His opponent shook his head wistfully, while a third player, not in the hand at the very end, said, "I knew you had pocket fours or something, or a bluff. I had Jack-Queen..." But you have to be in it to win it, as they say.
