Celik Shows the Bluff

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 50,000 with two players looking at a board that read 105A7.

Bulut Celik, in middle position, bet out 30,000. Enrico Mosca, on the button, made the call.

The 9 river saw Celik place a bet of 85,000, putting Mosca to the test for his last 65,000. Mosca spent so long in the tank that the clock was called. Eventually deciding to fold, Celik tabled J10 for a pair of tens with a busted flush draw.
