Silva Calls Ferreira’s Bluff

Rui Ferreira opened to 500 in early position and got calls from both Frederico Silva on the button and Mateusz Moolhuizen in the big blind to see a :::3s :::3c :::8s flop. Moolhuizen checked to Ferreira who continuation-bet 700. Silva called and Moolhuizen gave it up.

The turn was the :::7d and this time Ferreira bet out 2,050. Undeterred, Silva called again and they saw the :::Js on the river.

Ferreira indicated that he wanted to see Silva’s remaining chips – almost exactly 10,000 by the look of it. Ferreira set Silva in, but his plan backfired. Silva called all in and turned over :::8d :::9d for two pair, threes and eights, doubling up to over 26,000. Ferreira could only boast :::Kd :::5d for absolutely nothing and is down to 7,500.
