Botez Bluffs, Gets Called By Worse
Chess streamer Alexandra Botez was in the hijack in a heads-up pot against Ehsan Amiri on the button on a flop of A?K?8?.
Botez checked and Amiri bet 1,200. Botez check-raised to 3,500 and Amiri called. Botez then checked on the J? turn and Amiri checked back.
The 2? river completed the board and Botez sat still before tossing out a bet of 10,000. Amiri went deep into the tank for several minutes and tried to get some information out of the chess pro before calling.
Botez tabled A?3? for a pair of aces and it was enough to win the pot as those as the table expressed their shock when Amiri mucked in defeat.
"I don't know who was more surprised!" said one of the table mates.
"Oh, definitely me!" laughed Botez. "I promised myself I would stop bluffing."
"It's a good value bet!" laughed another player at the table.
