Lee's Bluff Gets Through
Level 24
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Chang Lee raised to 1,600,000 on the button with 9♥8♦ and Santhosh Suvarna called in the big blind holding Q♣J♠.
The flop came 3♦5♥Q♥ and Suvarna checked. Lee sized up with a bet of 4,000,000 and Suvarna made the call.
On the 8♠ turn, Suvarna checked again and Lee slowed down by checking back.
The river fell the A♠ and Suvarna checked once more. Lee thought for a moment before firing out a sizable bet of 12,000,000, turning his pair of eights into a bluff.
Suvarna took some time to think through his decision, ultimately opting to give up his hand.
