Luo Catches a Bluff

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Shuang Luo had opened from early position and received a call from Aleksandar Tot in the small blind.

The flop came 6?5?6? and Tot check-called a 25,000 continuation bet from Luo.

Tot lead out with a 50,000 bet on the 9? turn which was called by Luo.

On the 5? river Tot bet 180,000. Luo thought for roughly 45 seconds before flicking in a calling chip.

Tot tabled 4?4? for a small pocket pair turned into a bluff. Luo showed down 8?8? for a bigger pocket pair to take down a healthy pot.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, Joseph Sabe and Andrey Pateychuk were recently eliminated.
