Hooper Sniffs Out Friedman's Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Michael Hooper bet 5,000 from under the gun on a board of 10♠8♣6♥K♣3♣, and after a few moments, Prahlad Friedman jammed from the button, covering Hooper.
Hooper was the effective stack with around 30,000 behind and went deep into the tank. After a while, someone at the table called the clock, and before the countdown reached single digits, Hooper made the call.
Friedman sheepishly tabled J♣J♠ for a pair of jacks, knowing he was behind. He was exactly that, as Hooper turned over K♥10♥ for top two pair to earn the pot and the double-up just before the dinner break.
