Hirose Picks Off the Bluff
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A player from under the gun raised to 4,500, he was called by Kenneth Hirose in early position, and the big blind Rey Roca.
After the 2?K?7? flop, Roca checked to the under the gun player who bet out 7,000. Hirose made the call, and Roca folded.
The turn brought the 5? and both players checked to the 3? river. The under the gun player bet out 8,000 and Hirose quickly made the call. The player under the gun announced "Ace high" and Hirose tabled 8?8? for a pair of eights to take the pot.
