Minasi Bluff Raise Does the Trick
Alessandro Minasi might well have picked up some weakness from Marius Pospiech as he risked the minimum as a bluff, and got the move through.
Vittorio Santaniello called from early position before Minasi raised to 1,550 from the button, and Anton Ionel called form the small blind. Pospiech was in the big blind and three-bet to 6,500. Only Ionel (I know!) failed to call to the 
flop.
Pospiech led for 6,500 and Santaniello folded before Minasi min raised to 13,000. His German opponent took an age before he folded.
Minasi opened 
and Pospiech tapped the table and said, "Well played."
