Boeken Makes a Big Call
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
The player in second position opened and Elliot Smith made the call. Noah Boeken on the button squeezed to 1,800 and the big blind cold called. The initial raiser gave up, Smith called.
Three players saw a flop of 
and action checked around. All three of them checked on the 
as well and they saw the 
river for free. The big blind checked and Smith bet 2,000. Boeken called from the button.
The big blind had much bigger plans though, quite unexpectedly check-raising to 10,000. Smith frowned and folded, but Boeken wasn't so eager to lay his hand down. He shrugged, leaned forward, and called after some thirty seconds of tanking.
The big blind reluctantly rolled over 
for a bluff. Boeken showed 
and took it down.
