Steicke's Triple Barrel Bluff

[user67765]

JC Tran limped the button, David Steicke completed in the small blind before Tony Bloom added an additional 60,000 from the big blind. Both opponents made the call and they saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}

.

Steicke led out with a bet of 100,000 and Bloom made the call as Tran got out of the way. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}

and Steicke again led out, this time for 150,000. Bloom again made the call as the biggest pot of the tournament was developing.

The all important river was the {9-Diamonds}

and Steicke grabbed two stacks of yellow for a third barrel worth 200,000. Bloom quickly gave it up as Steicke said "Nothing at all" and flashed {J-Clubs}
