Ventura Bolet Catches Hauser Bluffing and Takes the Lead

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a limped pot to the {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Sandro Hauser checked with the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Alexandre Ventura Bolet bet 250,000 for Hauser to check-raise, making it 650,000 to go. The Spaniard called with his {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for the second pair and the {a-Hearts} followed on the turn.

Hauser now fired a bet worth 600,000 into 1,700,000 and the call by Ventura Bolet called, which led to the {k-Hearts} on the river. One more time bank by Hauser was invested and he then bet 800,000 in order to pick up a reluctant call by Ventura Bolet, who also needed a time bank extension as well.

Once the call followed and he was shown a bluff, Ventura Bolet smashed his cards on the board and cheered towards his rail.
