Vlasov Picks Off a Massive Bluff
Level 11
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
A player opened from middle position and received a call from Thomas Alfred Mayer on the button before Denis Vlasov squeezed from the small blind, folding out the original raiser while Meyer made the call, creating a pot worth roughly 325,000 going into the flop.
Vlasov check-called a 100,000 bet from Mayer on the 7♥4♦6♠ flop. Both players then checked the 4♥ turn leading to the 3♣ river. Vlasov checked, Mayer shoved for about 500,000 and Vlasov made the call with a covering stack.
Mayer tabled K♣10♥ for a bluff and immediately started making his exit from the tournament area while Vlasov turned over Q♦Q♣ to scoop a gargantuan pot.
