Polk Catches a Bluff

Ryan Lashmar

Nível 24 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante

Doug Polk opened to 6,000 and Reiji Kono bumped it up to 25,000. Polk made the call.

On the 5♣3♠5♦ flop Kono placed a bet of 18,000 and received a call from his opponent.

The turn came the 9♠ and Kono once again fired a bet, this time for 80,000. Once again Polk called.

Both players checked the 6♣ river. Kono showed 7♠8♦ for eight high and Polk showed 8♦6♣ for a rivered pair.

"Very aggressive!" Polk told his opponent as he raked in an early pot.
