Balaev Doubles Again as Luca Makes an Ill-Timed Bluff
Level 6
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alisson Piekazewicz bet 9,000 from the button on a flop of 8♣5♣2♥ and Ivan Luca called in the big blind. Viacheslav Balaev then raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and Piekazewicz folded, but Luca called.
Balaev bet 25,000 on the 5♥ turn, but this time Luca raised to 58,000. Balaev called and the 9♣ fell on the river. Luca then moved all in, and Balaev snap-called for his last 100,000.
Luca showed 7♦4♦ for a missed straight draw, while Balaev had 8♥8♠ for a full house to double up.
