WATCH: She Makes A Big River Bluff With A Busted DrawThe Latest Action From PokerGO’s ‘No Gamble, No Future’ |
|
The latest edition of PokerGO’s No Gamble, No Future featured an interesting cast of players and plenty of gamble as one player made an all-in bluff on the river in an attempt to take down a significant chunk of chips.
The cash game featured blinds of $100-$100 with a $100 big blind and the action started with Japanese poker pro and vlogger Yuuki “Sashimi” Kaida raising to $300 with 8 6. Art Parmann called with 4 4, as did Justin Young with A 3 and Joel Prelog with K J, bringing the pot to $1,400.
The four players then saw a flop of A 6 5, giving Young top pair and Sashimi a flush draw along with middle pair. After Prelog checked, Sashimi bet $1,000 and Parmann sent his hand to the muck. Young made the call and Prelog also folded, with the pot now reaching $3,400.
According to the Card Player Poker Odds Calculator, Sashimi had a 52% chance to win the hand with her combo draw and Young had just over 48%.
The turn card was the 3, giving Young two pair. This time Sashimi checked and Young bet $2,400. Sashimi thought a bit before check-raising to $7,000 with about $19,500 left behind. Young, on a stack of about $29,000, made the call.
Sashimi still had a 25% chance to take the pot, but would need another diamond or one of the remaining sixes in the deck. Instead, the 2 fell on the river. Undeterred, she fired in a little over a pot-sized bet all in. It was enough to make even aces up consider folding.
“I’ve got a nice hand,” Young said as he stacked chips and weighed his options. “This game might get good if I’m wrong though.”
Young even flipped his ace to get a reaction from his opponent, but eventually put his chips in the pot and raked $56,400 – the biggest pot of the day.
Young is no stranger to streamed cash games and has also appeared on Poker After Dark. HighRollPoker.com, which tracks live-streamed cash game results, reports his net winnings at just over $600,000.
Sashimi has been a regular on streamed poker games through the years as well, including Hustler Casino Live, Live at the Bike, and Poker at the Lodge. Her net winnings sit at more than $189,000, but that total will dip a bit after this bluff gone wrong.
