Rigby Goes Bluff-Catching
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three-way to a 8♦A♥Q♠ flop, Steven Brooks checked from the big blind, and Nicholas Rigby did so in the hijack. Paul Jager then tossed in 2,400 on the button, which both players called.
Brooks checked the 6♣ turn again, but Rigby led out for 6,200. Jager called, while Brooks had seen enough and got out of the way.
The Q♣ turn slowed Rigby down, checking it over to Jager. Jager assembled a sizable bet of 17,400, calmly placing it in the middle of the table.
It did not take long for Rigby to find a call, and he received good news when Jager did not want to show his cards, tossing his presumed bluff into the muck.
Rigby showed the 5♣ as he raked in the chips, leaving Jager to wonder what he had.
