Hendrix Forces Fold

Geoff Paul

Niveau 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 80,000 from the big blind. Florencio Bunal, who had initially limped in, called from the small blind.

The flop came 8♦6♥A♠, and both players checked. Bunal also checked the Q♠ turn before calling a bet of 160,000 from Hendrix.

Bunal checked in the dark before the 7♦ river arrived. Hendrix put out a bet of 560,000, and Bunal went into the tank.

Bunal considered his options for a couple of minutes. He decided to show Q♦9♣7♣6♦ as he folded.

"I would have called," said another player at the table.

"It's a 10k, he's not bluffing," laughed Bunal.
