Karlins Pulls the Trigger, Shows the Bluff
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Alexander Gittings opened the action with a raise to 320,000 from the hijack, and Marvin Karlins defended his big blind with a call.
The flop came Q♣2♥3♠, and Gittings continued for 205,000. Karlins responded with a check-raise to 600,000, prompting Gittings to double-check his cards before making the call.
Before the dealer even revealed the 7♠ turn, Karlins was already preparing to shove. He followed through with an all-in of around 600,000, and Gittings didn’t take long to fold.
Karlins grinned and tabled Ax8x for a stone-cold bluff, drawing laughs and cheers from the table.
