Cahlik Value Bluffs

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We found Josh Cahlik involved in a hand with Haviv Bahar on the turn with a board of {j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Both players checked the turn, and a {10-Spades} fell on the river. Cahlik led out for 15,000, and Bahar went into the tank. Finally, he called.

"You're probably good," Cahlik said, tossing {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} into the middle.

"Ah I knew you had nothing," Bahar said. Unfortunately, he'd made the call with {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, which he flashed to the table before he mucked.

The turn {9-Hearts} came to give Kwong the lead and the river {2-Spades} did not help his opponent who was in eliminated in 28th place.
