Homma Plays for it All
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sho Homma raised to 50,000 in the hijack, and Jon Vallinas called on the button before Kacper Pyzara raised to 225,000 from the small blind. Homma called, but Vallinas got out of the way.
The dealer spread a flop of 8?4?2? and Pyzara continued for 175,000. Homma called.
The 6? hit the turn and Pyzara slowed down with a check. Homma fired a bet of 200,000 and Pyzara called.
When the 7? completed the board, Pyzara checked to Homma who shipped the rest of his 525,000 into the middle, putting Pyzara deep into the tank. After several minutes, he pushed his cards into the muck.
"Show the bluff!" yelled tablemate Frederic Normand.
Homma hesitated, but ultimately decided to muck face down as he laughed, "No, it's a secret."
