With the board showing 7s3s2dAc on the turn and more than 200K already in the pot, Victor Carrera checked the big blind, Nick Rascona bet 85,000 from under the gun, and Carrera called.

The river card was the Jc, and Carrera moved all in. Rascona was covered, and he tanked for a while before he called all in for 160,000.

Carrera immediately said, “Good call,” and showed 10s9s for a ten-high bluff. Rascona turned over AdKc to win the pot with a pair of aces, and he stood up and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Carrera said, “I was going to go all in on the flop.”

Rascona said, “I might have called.”

Nick Rascona  –  710,000  (36 bb)
Victor Carrera  –  760,000  (38 bb)
