All Heart, No Hearts
Donovan Dean, playing from the cutoff, and big blind John Barr had already constructed a pot of roughly 50,000 by the time the turn was dealt.
The flop 10♠6♥2♥ was already out, and the dealer added the A♥ turn card to the board.
Barr led out with a bet of 25,000, but Dean seemingly wanted to play a bigger pot, putting in a raise to 69,000.
Action back to Barr, who took some time to consider all of his options. After a minute or so, he moved all in, covering his opponent. There were no theatrics from Dean, who immediately folded.
Barr then windmilled the Q♠ across the table, to show he didn't have a flush. Dean joined in the fun by exposing the K♠ from his hand, implying he was bluffing, too.
"Same hand [as me]?" Barr asked.
"I had king-jack, but I had the jack of hearts" was the response from Dean.
Barr ended the conversation by saying, "I had king-queen", which, in a way, meant he was value betting.
