Lakemeier Came to Play
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Giuliano Bendinelli raised to 50,000 from the button and fresh entry Jens Lakemeier defended the big blind. The flop came down 8♦4♣2♥ and both players checked. Lakemeier checked again on the 2♠ turn and a 40,000 bet followed from Bedinelli.
Lakemeier then responded with a raise to 115,000 chips, and Bendinelli obliged with a call. The 7♣ river fell and quickly shoved all in, covering the 225,000 stack of Bedinelli.
Bendinelli went deep in the tank and spent several time bank extensions before laying his hand down. Lakemeier proudly showed K♣10♠ for a stone-cold bluff, which got some pleased reactions out of the other players at the table.
