Show the Bluff

From under the gun a player opened the pot and Thomas Marchese re-popped it to 3,8000 on the button. The action got back to the player under the gun and he four-bet to 7,200. Marchese flatted.

Flop: {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

The player under the gun fired a 4,700-chip bet and was called.

The turn brought a {5-Spades} to the table and both players checked. When the {7-Hearts} felt on the river, Marchese puts the player under the gun all in, around 27,000.

The player under the gun eventually folded and one of his table mates said, "Show the bluff!"

Marchese flashed a {8-Clubs} and took the pot, is now up to 85,000 chips.

The flop fell {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Shorr check-called 6,800 from O'Dwyer.

Both players checked the {q-Clubs} on the turn and Shorr checked a third time after the {5-Hearts} rivered. O'Dwyer paused for a minute then bet 17,000. Shorr called.

"Nice call," O'Dwyer said as soon as Shorr's chips hit the felt.

Shorr turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for just a pair of tens.

"Very good call," O'Dwyer complimented while mucking his hand.
