Hankin Ain't Got Shit
The world's rarest gem is believed to be painite, the Rafflesia arnoldi Flower is near impossible to find, and good luck ever cracking open a Tasmanian Giant Crab. However, as rare as all those things may be, a Howard Hankin bluff eclipses them all in scarcity. However, this is 2020, and crazy things happen.
After two limps and a raise to 400 from Amanda Heidbrick in middle position, Hankin called next to act. Action folded back around to the under-the-gun limper, who folded, and then the UTG+1 limper called to make it three-way action to the flop.
The UTG+1 player checked, Heidbrick continued for 1,500, and Hankin called. The other player folded and it was heads-up action to the turn.
Heidbrick check-called a bet of 1,600 from Hankin and the completed the board on the river.
Heidbrick for the second time and Hankin fired out 2,800. That did the trick as Hankin's opponent folded.
"I ain't got shit," said Hankins, who qualified for this tournament via last night's satellite. He then showed the for a semi-bluff that turned into a pair of nines.
