Stelmak Baffles Bardah

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We caught the action on a {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board which Dmitry Stelmak had checked. Ronnie Bardah bet 9,000 and was stunned to see Stelmak pop it to 23,500.

Bardah asked, "Do you really have ace-jack? Or are you just turning your hand into a bluff?"

Not only did Stelmak not answer, he called the clock while Bardah thought it over. As the time ran down Bardah called, but saw the bad news as Stelmak tabled {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

Stelmak: Up to roughly 80,000
Bardah: Down to about 40,000
