Chiriac Bluffs Into a Monster
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
George Chiriac raised to 1,200 from the hijack before Lauri Saaskilahti three-bet to 3,000 on the button. Chiriac then put in a four-bet to 7,000 and Saaskilahti called.
The flop came 6♣2♦5♠ and Chiriac led out for 4,800. Saaskilahti called to the 2♥ turn, where Chiriac fired out another 12,500.
Saaskilahti spent some time counting out his remaining stack before he called. The river came the J♦ and Chiriac then moved all in.
Saaskilahti snap-called for his last 24,000 and turned over 6♠6♥ for a full house. Chiriac could only show A♥Q♥ for a failed bluff as Saaskilahti earned the massive double up.
