Masek's Opponent Only Has One Barrel

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Alex Masek called a raise from a late position player and a caller from the small blind. The three players took to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Masek checked and the initial raiser bet. The third player got out of the way and Masek called. The two checked the {3-Spades}. The river {2-Clubs} gave Masek no reason to bet as he checked. His opponent thought about it for a moment but decided to check.

Masek flipped over {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for middle pair on the flop. His opponent bluffed the flop and gave up with {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. With that pot Masek moved up to 22,000.
