Cahlik Creeping Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

A few minutes before the break, Sean Small raised to 800 from the cutoff, and Josh Cahlik threebet to 2,200 from the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Small, still stacking chips won in the previous hand, flashed the {A-Clubs} before folding. Cahlik showed the {A-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Shortly thereafter, Cahlik pulled off a "big bluff," according to Small. Another player at the table nodded seriously in agreement, but Cahlik laughed and termed it a "stupid" bluff. Cahlik said he called a raise with {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} from the big blind and saw the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked, and the {k-Spades} turned. Cahlik let out 1,200 and his opponent declared she couldn't beat the board, showing {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} before mucking. Cahlik then showed the bluff, word of which is spreading around the room like wildfire.
