Overton's Five-Bet Bluff
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Garry Gates opened to 56,000 from under the gun, and Aaron Overton three-bet to 146,000. The action folded back to Gates who went into the tank.
"Aaron?" he asked. "That's your name right?"
Overton nodded.
"Can you lift your hand?"
Overton obliged, revealing the rest of his stack. Gates tanked a little longer, then slid out a tower of purple T10,000 chips, making it 235,000 straight. Overton thought for nearly a minute, then moved all in for around 900,000. Gates tank-folded.
"Queen-jack, baby!" Overton yelled, tabling . "The nuts!"
Overton happily raked in the pot to the table's amusement.
