Ward Catches Bloch Bluffing
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Miles Ward raised to 4,000 in the small blind with the 6♦3♣ and Peter Bloch defended the big blind holding the K♦5♥. The Q♥9♣3♥ flop was checked and that led them to the 8♦ on the turn. Ward now bet 7,000 with his bottom pair and Bloch called.
On the 6♠ river, there were 24,000 in the middle and Ward bet 20,000. Bloch double-checked his cards and then raised big to 70,000 with his king-high air. Ward shook his head and called after only a few seconds of consideration.
