Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1C): Silver Tries The Value Bet Bluff, But Scala Picks It Off

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 7 (Blinds 250/500/75)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 120

Frank Scala (Boca Raton, FL) has one cash this series, falling just short of the Event #1 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em) final table, but cashing for $6,400.

The action at Table 10 was approached on the flop (Q♦ 8♠ 6♣) of a multi-way hand, with Harry Silver having bet 2,000 on the button, after the small bllind and Frank Scala checked to him.  The turn would see the board pair with the Q♥, with action checking around.  The 10♥ then fell on the river, with both the small blind and Scala checking to Silver once get, who bet 2,000 once again.  There was close to 10,000 in the pot, so it may have looked like a wager that was begging for a call.  The small blind ended up releasing his hand, but Scala was a non-believer, and he'd toss the chips across his cards for a call.

"You got it," Silver said to Frank, as he sat without tabling his hand.  Scala then turned over 4♥ 4♠, with Silver flashing A♣ 9♦, before tossing it into the muck.  The bet may have gotten the best hand to fold, and the player in the small blind had a rather upset reaction to seeing the chips getting pushed Scala's way.  Frank is now over the chip average, and sits with 28,200.

Frank Scala - 28,200 (56bb)
