Coughlin Picks Off a Bluff
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Neil Coughlin bet 39,000 from the small blind on an 
board in a blind battle. The big blind called, and Coughlin thought awhile and checked the 
river. The big blind bet 60,000, most of Coughlin's stack. He counted out the requisite amount, seeing he would have about 30,000 if he called and lost. He flipped in a chip to call, and the big blind turned over 
for a missed straight draw. Coughlin showed 
for eights full of sixes.
