O’Grady Lets It Fly with a Windmill Bluff, Regains Chip Lead
Michael O'Grady opened to 800,000 from the cutoff with Q♠J♦, and Welyam Gelyana responded with a three-bet to 2,500,000 out of the small blind holding 9♥9♦. O'Grady made the call.
The flop came 4♠K♠6♠, and Gelyana continued his aggressive line with a bet of 3,000,000—consistent with his play all day. O'Grady quickly called, bringing the A♣ on the turn. Undeterred, Gelyana fired again for 3,000,000, and O'Grady matched it once more.
The river 8♥ saw a change of pace as Gelyana checked. O'Grady seized the opportunity, sliding out a bet of 7,000,000. Gelyana didn’t take long before letting his hand go, and O'Grady theatrically windmilled his cards into the air, landing face-up in front of his opponent. Gelyana could only nod in respect, acknowledging the gutsy bluff.
