Macaluso Shows the Bluff
Level 34
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Luigi Macaluso raised to 200,000 from under the gun, the cutoff called, as did Hugues Girard, in the big blind.
The action checked to Macaluso, who continued for 260,000 on the 9?10?3? flop. The cutoff folded and Girard check-raised to 750,000. Macaluso called.
The 7? turn checked through to the 7? river. Girard placed a small bet of 200,000 and Macaluso responded with a raise to 1,000,000. After some table talk, Girard tossed his cards into the muck. Macaluso proudly showed Q?J? for just queen high.
