Sick Bluff Spells End for Darwish

Hemin Darwish

Dennis Holm raised to 2,600 from the cutoff, Monica Vaka called on the button, Uni Gilston called from the small blind and Hemin Darwish defended his big blind.

The flop was :::Ks:::9s:::8d and Gilston and Darwish checked. Holm bet 5,000, Vaka folded and both blinds called. All players checked the :::As on the turn.

The river was the :::6d and Gilston led out with a bet of 15,000. Darwish gave it some brief thought before making it 30,000. Holm spent two minutes in the tank before reluctantly folding his hand, which brought it back to Gilston.

After thirty seconds, Gilston clicked it back another time and made it 45,000 to go. Darwish wasn’t backing down though.

"All-in!" he loudly said, a shove for 67,000 total. Gilston wasted no time in calling it off.

Uni Gilston: :::Qs:::8s
Hemin Darwish: :::7h:::6h

It was a sick bluff by Darwish but Gilston wasn’t about to fold the nuts. WIth Darwish’ chips, the Dane skyrocketed to 160,000.
