The majority of us get worried attempting to manage a $20 bluff, however over the weekend, Rampage took little time to run the risk of $628,000 with absolutely nothing however Ace high up on Hustler Casino Live’s highly-anticipate “Million Dollar Game.”
Blinds were $500/$1,000 with a $2,000 straddle. Rampage, holding A ♣ -7 ♣, raised pre-flop to $9,000. A routine called “Handz,” sitting straight to Rampage’s left, just called with Q ♠-Q♥. Another gamer called “Pav” likewise called with K♥-8♦.
The flop of J♦-Q♦-T ♣ was a huge one for Handz, offering him a set of Queens. Rampage had a gut-shot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw, while Pav had an open-ended straight draw.
Rampage examined and Handz did the very same, camouflaging his strong hand. Pav wager $15,000. Rampage rapidly check-raised to $50,000 and Handz called. Pav, seeing the jig was up, folded.
