Siegal Shows the Bluff

Level 8 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Matthew Siegal threw out a bet of 300,000 from the big blind and Phil Ivey folded in middle position. Mikita Badziakouski check-called from the small blind as the {4-Clubs} paired the board on the turn.

Badziakouski checked and Siegal checked behind this time. The river was the {10-Clubs} and Badziakouski checked again. Siegal tossed in a bet of 400,000 and Badziakouski went into the tank for nearly two minutes. He eventually laid his hand down just as the cameras showed up to the table.

"The cameras are here!" Daniel Negreanu announced. That got enough attention for Siegal to table the {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a complete bluff.
