Reixach Takes a Big One From Pavlov
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ilia Pavlov was in the hijack when he opened to 125,000. Sergi Reixach defended from the big blind and both of them discovered the flop 8♣A♠6♠.
Pavlov bet 175,000 and Reixach check-called. On the turn 8♦, the Spanish player took the lead and bet 115,000. Pavlov didn't back down and decided to raise to 525,000.
Reixach eventually called, then checked after the 8♠ came on the river. Pavlov took 500,000 chips and put them in front of him.
Not very happy, Reixach seemed to have no choice but to call with A♦2♦ for a full. He was right, because Pavlov didn't have the eight, but K♥10♣ for a bluff.
