Tiainen Doubles Through Kulanurk's Bluff
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kai Tiainen raised his button to 65,000. Artur Kulanurk called in the big blind, after which both players checked the 9♦7♥5♠ flop. Kulanurk also checked the Q♦ turn before he called Tiainen's bet of 80,000.
The J♠ completed the board on the river. Kulanurk promptly announced an all-in bet, putting Tiainen at risk for his stack of 355,000. After a minute in thought, Tiainen called off.
"You win," Kulanurk simply stated as he tried to muck his cards. The dealer forced him to show his K♠9♥, however, after which Tiainen tabled A♣J♦ for a higher pair and the winning hand.
