Checkwicz Gets Creative

Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mark Checkwicz raised from under the gun to 250,000, holding 5?4?. Kevin Nathan, on the button, three-bet to 650,000 with K?Q? and Checkwicz made the call.
The 9?K?A? flop checked through to the 7? on the turn. Checkwicz felt obliged to turn his five-high into a bluff, leading for 390,000. Nathan put in a raise to 1,000,000 and Checkwicz snap-folded.
