Old Age and Treachery

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Henry Hull
Henry Hull

On a heads-up turn of A?6?7?2?, Henry Hull checked to his opponent, Robert Cowen, who then bet 300,000 into the already large pot of 500,000.

Hull thought about it for a few moments, then announced a call and punctuated it by thumping his stack chips onto the felt.

The river fell the 3? and Hull gave a shrug and moved all of his chips into the middle, totaling 345,000, and Cowen went deep into the tank.

"I feel like you just have 7-8-9-10 here," he said to Hull after an intense staredown, but still could not quite make up his mind.

After using several time banks, Cowen finally made the could to award the pot to Hull.

"Show the bluff!" someone at the table said, and Hull proudly showed pocket kings, and then admitted he just had six-eight to go with it for a stone bluff. The player to his right corroborated this story and the table went nuts over his bluff., to which Hull responded with a quote from David Mamet...

"Old age and treachery will always beat youth and enthusiasm [exuberance]".
