Burke and Scare

Fri, Apr 18th 2008, 18:22 by Reporter

Maria Demetriou made it 700 to go from middle position and was called by J. Burke on her immediate left and C. Tran on the button. A flop of K 6 7 was quickly checked around. Demetriou bet 1000 when 3 turned and only Burke called. She then checked the 5 river and Burke proferred 1800 chips. Demetriou groaned as she reluctantly counted out the call. However, Burke indicated the call was good and flipped over A J for the bluff. Demetriou’s Q Q were good for a nice pot.
