Beresford's Final Barrel
Matthew Khouri opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,500. Conor Beresford was enjoying a nice glass of wine in the big blind and decided to bump it up to 8,800. Khouri made the call and a flop was dealt.
6?6?9? emerged from the deck, on which Beresford made a continuation-bet of 6,500. Khouri was not ready to let go and made the call.
The 9? turn was checked by both players before Beresford took a good look at his cards again on the 10? river. What he saw apparently prompted him to go all in for his last 18,400 chips. Khouri, who only played 2,800 more, asked for a count. After the amount was confirmed, he made the call.
Beresford tabled K?7? for the bluff with his king kicker, but Khouri had the better hand with A?Q? for an ace kicker. ''Of course,'' Beresford exclaimed, as he left to enjoy the rest of his wine elsewhere.
