Trattou Sniffs Out Golenko's Bluff
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mario Trattou and Yevgeneiy Golenko were heads-up on a board of Q♣8♥4♠K♦ with a sizable pot already in the middle.
Trattou was in the small blind and checked-called a 42,000 bet from the Golenko, who was in the big blind.
The 5♣ completed the board and Trattou checked a final time, prompting a 65,000 bet from Golenko.
Trattou tanked for a bit, but eventually decided to call and Golenko tabled A♣J♣. Trattou excitedly turned over 9♦9♥ for a winning pair of nines and said, "This was you trying to bluff... I smelt it!"
"Don't try to bluff me," Trattou added as he collected the pot.
