Tran Calls Saab's Bluff

With a video camera filming the action, J.C. Tran raised to 250. By the time the action folded to David Saab in the big blind, the camera had moved on to other tables.

Saab asked Tran if it was a camera raise. "Something like that," responded Tran. Saab decided to make the call and then he checked dark. Before the dealer could put a flop down, Tran announced that if Saab was going to check dark, Tran would bet dark and he bet 300. This confused the dealer slightly, but with prompting from Saab, she put down a {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} flop. Saab check-raised to 1,100 but Tran was undeterred and called.

Both players checked the {10-Hearts} turn. The river came {J-Clubs}, bringing a bet of 1,600 from Saab. When Tran made the call, Saab quietly pushed both of his cards face-down into the muck. Tran showed {A-Spades} {10-Spades} for the winner.

"You own me here," said Saab. "I have to bet blind to win."
