The small blind, Von Blanckenburg in the big blind and the cutoff checked to the button who tossed out a bet of 2,000. Von Blanckenburg called and the two remaining players headed to a J♠ turn.

Von Blanckenburg led out with a bet of 5,500 and the button thought for about a minute before finally tossing in the call to see Von Blanckenburg turn over the K♥Q♣10♥10♦ for the straight before he tossed his cards toward the muck and sent the pot to Von Blanckenburg.

Volcovschi Wins With A One Chip Bet

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a board reading A♥9♠2♥Q♠, the player in late position checked to Diana Volcovschi on the button who announced a pot-sized bet amounting to 12,200, leaving her just one single 100 denomination chip behind.

The late position player thought for a moment but eventually called to see the K♦ hit the river.

The late position player checked once more to Volcovschi who tossed her last 100 chip into the pot. The late position player, apparently having missed everything and being left with an absolutely nothing hand, tossed his cards into the muck and allowed Volcovschi to win the pot without showdown.

The table rang out with, "Show the bluff!" but she slid her cards to the dealer, presumably with no bluff to show in what was a very interesting spot.
