Bluff? No Need for Hulley
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a 7?5?4?2? board one player checked and Sergio Barrios bet 7,000. Angel Scicchitano called, as did Tom Hulley, with the original player folding.
The river was the 4? and gradually all three players checked.
Barrios was first to show, turning over 9?8? for a missed flush draw and nine high. Then it was Scicchitano's turn, tabling J?6? for a missed straight draw and jack high.
Triumphantly, Hulley slammed 3?3? on the table to win the pot.
"I was going to bluff," said Hulley.
"No need," said tablemate Nathan Glase.
"Checked back with the best hand," said Hulley. "I know exactly where I was."
