Maue Shows Martirosian the Bluff
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Artur Martirosian opened to 55,000 in the cutoff and Pieter Aerts called on the button before Leonard Maue three-bet to 300,000 out of the big blind. Martirosian responded with a four-bet to 550,000 as Aerts folded and Maue called.
Maue checked on the flop of 5♠2♣Q♦ and Martirosian bet a tiny 120,000. Maue check-raised to 550,000 to bring a quick fold from the Russian.
Maue proudly showed a stone bluff with J♠10♠ for just jack-high with a few backdoor draws as the two headed to break.
