Batista Bomb of a Bluff

Apparently now over the urge to massively over-shove the pot, we witnessed Chad Batista instead pull off a daring bluff.

The flop read {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} when we caught up with him facing a 500 bet from the player in the small blind. Batista called, and they saw a turn.

The turn came down the {9-Spades} and the small blind bet out 500 again. This time, however, Batista went all in, eliciting a tank and then an eventual, rather angry, fold.

Batista showed his opponent {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, which probably didn't make him feel any better.
