Ferraro Gets a Bluff Through

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Action was picked up with around 1,500 in the pot and a board of {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The small blind led out for 500. Cole Ferraro, in the big blind, put in a raise to 1,600, and the opponent called.

They checked on the {a-Diamonds} turn, leading to the {10-Diamonds} on the river. The small blind checked to Ferraro, who fired for 7,500. The opponent went into the tank for a bit, before eventually making a reluctant laydown. Ferraro turned over {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, good for just king high. "Just another day for me. When I call they show me the nuts, when I fold they show me the bluff. Just another day," his opponent commented.

"What'd you fold?" asked a player from across the table.

"Just a bad queen," he responded, "not two pair or anything. He wouldn't get me to fold two pair."

Ferraro's bluff had worked, and he scooped the pot.
