Tarantini Picks the Wrong Time to Bluff
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Mauro Tarantini and Vlado Banicevic were heads-up in a pot with around 25,000 in the middle already. The board read J♣10♣6♣4♥ and Tarantini check-called a bet of 12,000 from Banicevic.
The 10♠ paired the board on the river and Tarantini decided to lead out with a bet of 15,500. Banicevic looked him up and Tarantini turned over K♥Q♣ for missed straight and flush draws. Banicevic held 8♣7♣ for a flush and raked in a big pot.
