Chau Giang Picks Off a Bluff

"Poker is nice. I love play poker."
"Poker is nice. I love play poker."
An early position player raised to 950 and Chau Giang called from the button. The flop was {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. The EP player checked, Giang bet 4,000, and the EP player moved all in for 16,650, sending Giang into the tank for a good five minutes before making the call.

The EP player sheepishly turned over {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} while Giang showed {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}.

"One more time I'm right! I'm going to win this tournament!" exclaimed Giang as the dealer burned and turned the {5-Clubs}, making Giang a nine-high straight. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Giang raked in the pot.

"Oh man this is good for the final table here!" said Giang as he stacked up his new pile of chips, totaling 70,000.
