Boyadjian's Bluff Doesn't Get Through


Following an open raise to 800 and two calls including David Kim on the button, Paul Marzarella three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind and was called by Yervand Boyadjian in a middling position and Kim. The flop fell and Marzarella bet 5,000 for Boyadjian to raise to 13,700, which forced a fold from Kim and earned a call from Marzarella.
After the turn, Marzarella checked and Boyadjian announced a bet of 12,800. As he splashed in the chips, Marzarella tried to eyeball the stack of his opponent and Boyadjian immediately said "I have 50 behind, I have you covered" to then earn a call.
Marzarella then checked the on the river. Boyadjian jammed and Marzarella called all-in for the 12,800 he had behind. "I knew it," Boyadjian sighed as he flashed the
for a bluff gone wrong and Marzarella doubled with his
for queens and jacks.
