Kovalyuk Gets Bluffed
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
A short while ago, we reported that Mikhail Kovalyuk bluffed Mikhail Shalamov...and just now, Shamalov got revenge on Kovalyuk by bluffing him back.
Shamalov was in middle position preflop and Kovalyuk was playing from the big blind. On the

The turn brought the 
and both players opted to check. On the 
river, Kovalyuk checked again and Shamalov made it 8,500 to see his cards. Kovalyuk folded but Shamalov showed his cards anyway, turning over 
for a busted straight draw. The pot brings the two players level-pegging in the counts.
