Vandyshev Picks Off a Bluff to Reclaim the Lead
Level 25
: 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
With the board reading Q♠2♦7♠6♥ and 2,600,000 in the middle, Aleksei Vandyshev checked from the big blind, and Aku Joentausta bet 2,200,000 from the button. Vandyshev called.
Joentausta bet 7,000,000 on the 6♣ turn, nearly enough to put Vandyshev all-in. Vandyshev called again.
Joentausta could only show A♣10♠9♠3♠ for a bluff. Vandyshev tabled Q♥10♥9♣8♦ two pair, queens and sixes to secure nearly a full double up, reclaiming the chip lead in the process.
