Lonis Gives Speech, Raises River
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jesse Lonis raised in early position to 2,100. Only Vasil Medarov made the call from the small blind.
The flop came A♥8♣7♠ and Medarov checked to Lonis, who bet 3,400. Medarov called.
The turn went check-check on the A♣, and the river was the 5♠. Medarov then led out for 3,500.
"What kind of bet is that?", Lonis asked. He proceeded to tell a story about how someone said the same thing to him in another event, raised on the river, and showed a bluff. Lonis reenacted the first part of that story, raising to 15,200. When Medarov folded, Lonis showed that he wasn't bluffing, as he revealed 5♣5♥ for a rivered full house.
