Byrraju Picks Off Huge Bluff

Rahul Byrraju just manifested himself as one of the favorites with 43 players remaining in the tournament after picking off a huge bluff. It all started when Byrraju raised it up to 4,000 preflop. Two players called among which Aidan Tam in the big blind.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the action was checked around. On the turn the {10-Hearts} hit and Tam lead out for 5,600. Both Byrraju and the third player made the call.

On the river the {K-Spades} showed up and Tam checked. Byrraju fired out 19,500 and the third player decided to call. The action was now back on Tam who decided to check-raise all in for 110,700. Byrraju gave it some thought and ended up making the call. The third player folded instantly after that.

Byrraju quickly turned over his {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, and the dealer showed Tam's {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

"I play so bad," Tam sighed as he made his way to the exit. Byrraju is doing very well and makes his way into the top five.
