Stroke Shows a Bluff to Beckers

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

On a three-bet pot between Ken Beckers, in the small bind, and Shawn Stroke, on the button, the flop showed {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} when Beckers check-called a bet worth 1,200 from Stroke.

The turn fell the {8-Diamonds} and Beckers tanked for a minute before betting 2,700, called by Stroke.

A {5-Spades} completed the board on the river and Beckers fired 8,000. Stroke thought about his move for some time and announced all-in for a remaining stack around 27,000. Beckers let it go and Stroke tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for ace-high.
