Hesse Makes Boivin Fold a House
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Alessandro Predaroli raised to 55,000 from early position with Q♠J♥. Joey Padron flatted his button with 10♦9♦, Thomas Boivin called in the small blind with J♠8♠, and Stephen Hesse defended his big blind with 9♣5♣.
The quartet of players checked through the 7♥7♦8♣ flop and K♥ turn. The 7♣ river then completed the board, which Boivin also checked. Hesse bet 160,000 with nine-high, and Predaroli and Padron quickly mucked their hands.
Boivin spent some time in the tank before he folded the best hand as Hesse got his multi-way bluff through.
