Lehr Shown a Bluff
Legendary poker player Keith Lehr opened the action with a raise to 100,000 under the gun. Jack Sinclair, chipleader at least at the start of the day, called from the small blind. Waheed Ashraf over called from the big blind.
The flop of [JsTdAs] was checked through so the trio saw the [2s] on the turn for free. Sinclair checked once more but Ashraf led for 125,000. Lehr raised to 355,000 with 1,335,000 behind. Sinclair thought about it for a bit but folded right before his time ran out. Ashraf three-bet to 810,000 which put the pressure on Lehr. The latter checked his cards another time, used three time extension cards, before eventually reluctantly folding.
Waheed Ashraf showed [Qh9s] while raking in the chips.
