Hallaert Shows Skhulukhiya the Bluff
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya made it 100,000 from early position and only Kenny Hallaert called from the big blind.
Hallaert check-called a bet of 50,000 by Skhulukhiya on the 9♠5♠6♦ flop.
The 8♥ appeared on the turn, and Hallaert led out for 180,000. Skhulukhiya flicked in the call.
Hallaert led out again when the 3♣ fell on the river, this time for 425,000. Skhulukhiya stared Hallaert down, while deliberating for quite some time. In the end, Skhulukhiya tossed his cards into the muck.
Hallaert had told Skhulukhiya that he would show his cards even if Skhulukhiya folded, and he was a man of his word as he proudly revealed A♥4♦ for a complete bluff.
