William Givens caught an opponent trying to bluff him.
William Givens caught an opponent trying to bluff him.

William Givens, in the big blind, fired 16,000 on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. His opponent check-raised to 51,000. Givens came back with 116,000. His opponent shoved all in for about 200,000, standing up. Givens made the call after about 30 seconds.

Givens: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Givens was miles ahead, and his opponent needed runner-runner. One of the worst cards for Givens arrived on the turn: {5-Hearts}, giving the small blind a combo draw. A {q-Clubs} fell on the river, though, and Givens has one of the biggest stacks in the room.
