KMart Nearly Risks It All
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
As relayed to PokerNews from the first level, Kevin Martin raised to 500 in early position and was called by two players in middle position. The big blind three-bet to 3,700 and only Martin called. The flop came Q?9?8? and the big blind checked to Martin who bet 3,400 which his opponent called.
The turn was the 9? and the big blind checked again. Martin sized up a bet of 10,000 and his opponent still called. The river brought the Q? and the big blind checked one more time. Martin reached back for a bet of 25,500 and his opponent tanked for a couple of minutes.
"If it's a bluff, it's a hell of a bluff," the big blind said as he folded. Martin was shipped the pot and turned over 3x3x which got a reaction from the rest of his table.
