Boyd Called Sole's Bluff

Laura Fryer

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Russell Boyd was heads-up against Ignacio Sole to his direct left. They were already all in on the 5♣Q♥9♥J♦9♦ board. The pot stood at around 20,000.

Sole had moved all in and action was on Boyd. Boyd took a little time before calling off Sole's bluff.

Sole stood from the table as soon as Boyd made the call, knowing he was likely beat with his king high.

Ignacio Sole: K♠7♦ All in
Russell Boyd: 9♠6♣

Boyd remarked, "He almost got away with it."
