Coy Catches Bluff; Morgan Caught in the Crossfire
Action folded to Ramana Epparla in the cutoff, who raised to 10,000. Small blind Kenneth Coy made the call, and John Morgan, in the big blind, called off his remaining stack and was all in for 8,000.
The flop came out 7♦10♠2♥, and Coy didn't hang around, leading into the preflop aggressor for 20,000, which Epparla called.
The turn J♣ didn't slow Coy down, this time putting out a bet of 40,000. Once again, Epparla called.
Coy decided to hit the brakes on the 5♣ river, but seemingly he was trapping his opponent, as when Epparla put out a bet of 80,000, Coy called immediately.
Epparla was caught bluffing, revealing A♠9♠, which Coy had beat with his Q♦10♣. All in player Morgan couldn't better his opponent's hand, showing 5♥4♦.
As Coy pulled in the pot, Morgan headed to the exit.
