Messina Shows the Bluff
Nível 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Valentin Messina raised to 450,000 on the button, and Michael Sklenicka defended the big blind. The Czech player check-called 500,000 on the 
flop, and both players checked the 
turn. Sklenicka bet 800,000 when the 
river hit. Messina thought awhile and then slid in 3.8 million.
Sklenicka drew a deep breath and went into the tank as the others headed for break. "Nines?" he asked.
After about three minutes of thought, he spoke up again. "I have the worst value hand," he said, mucking.
Messina showed the bluff, slapping 
down on the felt.
