Taylor von Kriegenbergh

We get to the table with about 50,000 in the pot and  6c qc 3s on the flop. Chino Rheem checked, as did Taylor von Kriegenbergh.

The dealer put the  7s on the turn and Rheem check-called Kriegenbergh’s 20,000 bet.

On the  as river, Rheem checked for a final time and Kriegenbergh counted out a stack of blue chips.

Rheem shook his head, “Swear to god, I almost folded to you. First thing, I almost ripped it preflop. I was just gonna rip, over shove the pot.” Then he asked the dealer, “Sixty-five? That’s all my blues.”

“You get paid off if this card doesn’t come,” indicating the ace on the river. “You’ve probably got a set of queens, you check the flop, then bet again. I can’t see you riding ace-king on the turn for 20K. All I can beat is, like, ten’s now. You could turn tens into a bluff and that’s all I can beat.”

Kriegenbergh sat stone faced throughout the speech as Rheem counted out the sixty-five thousand in blue chips.

“If I show you jacks face up and fold will you show me? ‘Cuz I sort of want to call right now. You get paid off if that ace is a nine.”

Rheem eventually folds, flashing his cards (another player thought he saw red jacks).

“Can I see?” he asks and Kriegenbergh cracks a smile.

“You can see one,” von Kriegenbergh said.

“I can pick either one?” Chino asked. “Oh my god, you bluffed me!”

Rheem chose a card and turned over the  4h.

“Oh my god, you bluffed me!”

Taylor von Kriegenbergh 335,000
Chino Rheem - 130,000
