Big Bluff from Normand

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Frederic Normand raised from early position to 200,000, Renji Mao called in the big blind.

Normand bet 125,000 when the flop came 57Q and Mao called. Action slowed when the A hit the turn and both players checked. Mao decided to lead for 500,000 when the 8 hit the river, around 30 seconds went by before Normand announced "all in".

The decision was on Mao who was clearly confused by the action of this hand, eventually after a few shakes of his head, he decided to folded. The tabled asked Normand to show a bluff so he flashed the 10.
