Feb 12, 2017
Marc Etienne McLaughlin and Henry Tran are heads-up on a flop of 
. Tran bets 8,000 from the big blind and McLaughlin calls in the cutoff.
The two players check the 
on the turn, then the river brings the 
.
“No way I have an eight,” Tran, who has a thick accent, tells McLaughlin. Well, shit. Can I induce a bluff of you?”
Tran thinks for a minute, then bets 2,400. After about five seconds he looks at his bet and goes, “Oh no, I meant blue,” pointing towards the black 100 chips. Tran claims he meant to bet 22,000 and bet 2,400 by accident. He asks the dealer if he can change his bet and the dealer tells him no.
McLaughlin is already reaching into his stack to pick up chips.
Tran is surprised. “You’re still going to raise?”
He is. McLaughlin raises to 24,000 total. Tran thinks for a good two minutes before folding and McLaughlin takes the pot.
Marc Etienne McLaughlin – 175,000 (73 bb)
Henry Tran – 329,000 (137 bb)
