Stokes Puts "Easty" in Blender
Jamin Stokes raised to 3,500 in early position, and Nick Eastwood three-bet to 11,000 in the adjacent seat. It folded back to Stokes, who called to the 8♣4♦5♠ flop.
Stokes checked, and Eastwood checked behind, leading to the 7♥ turn appearing. Stokes took the initiative with a bet of 14,000, which Eastwood called.
The 8♥ emerged as the river, and Stokes promptly moved all in for about twice the pot, covering the 122,000 chips of Eastwood.
"Why go all in?" Eastwood pondered. "Why not bet less?"
Eastwood went deep into the tank and tried to get some information out of his opponent, to no avail.
"It smells like bullsh*t,” he eventually said, but some moments later, he opted to fold his hand.
Eastwood requested Stokes to table his hand, and Stokes complied by showing K♣J♣ for a stone-cold bluff. Eastwood admitted he contemplated calling with ace-king but ultimately could not pull the trigger.
"F*ck," he simply stated as the next hand was dealt.
