Epstein Bluffs Big

Level 1

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Nicolas Dumont raised 300 from the button, the small and Alex Epstein in the big blind called. On a flop of 769 Dumont continued for 1,000. The small blind folded and Epstein called.

Epstein took the lead on the 9 turn, betting 2,500 and Dumont called. When the river came 2 Epstein bet again for 6,000 and after a moment juggling his calling chips, Dumont folded.

Epstein showed anyway, proud of his bluff with KJ83 for a busted flush and straight draws and eight-seven low.

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

No-Limit Hold'em

Eric Lindgren check-called a 2,200 chip bet from an early position player on a board reading 2A56 and the dealer burned and turned the J river, leading Lindgren to check once more.

The player in early position sigh-checked back, indicating a suspicion that Lindgren may have made his flush, which turned out to be correct, as Lindgren flipped over KQ for a king-high flush.

His opponent mucked.
