Andrew Neeme read this bluff like a pro in a $25/$25/$50 game on Poker At The Lodge.
The action limped to Alex in High-Jack with $36,550 in his stack and he open raised to $450 with J♥️9♥️. The Cut-Off folded and Andrew Neeme on The Button with $24,700 made a 3-bet of $1,500 with K♠️K♦️. All positions folded up to the High-Jack who called making it heads-up to the flop between Alex and Andrew.
The board flopped 5♥️3♥️8♠️ and put Alex on the flush draw while Andrew had an overpair. Alex checked it to Andrew who bet $1,600 which Alex called and they went to the turn with the pot at $6,600.
The A♣️ was flipped over on the turn and both players checked and another Ace came out on the river, unfortunately for Alex though, it wasn’t a heart and he had nothing but air. However, he decided to represent a strong hand when he went all-in at $33,450. After a 2+ minute tank, Andrew decided to call with top pair and second pair and successfully read Alex’s bluff.
