Alt Sniffs Out Semi-Bluff
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dinesh Alt was in the blender after facing an all-in 261,000 river bet from Dennis Brand, who started the day with 461,000.
Alt looked hard at the board, which contained 7?6?10?2?A?, and then Brand, who hardly moved. Alt took his time to consider his options, putting his elbow on the rail and resting his chin for up to a minute.
Then, he made the call.
Alt: A?9?
Brand: 10?8?
Alt caught the semi-bluff by pairing his ace on the river and was awarded a large pot, which only elevated the Day 1 chip leader’s stack. He also sent Brand to the rail.
