Moses Picks Off the Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alexander Lee limped under the gun and David Moses made it 2,400 to go in the cutoff. Ilan Cukrowicz called on the button, Gabriel Lapointe flatted in the small blind, and Lee stuck around.
The flop of A♦Q♣J♠ checked through to the 2♥ turn. Lapointe led out for 3,500 and only Moses called.
On the 4♠ river, Lapointe bet again, this time for 8,000.
"I almost want to fold, man," said Moses, taking some time to think through his decision.
Moses eventually sniffed out the bluff and made the call, tabling A♠J♦ for two pair, aces and jacks, besting the 10♣10♦ of Lapointe.
