Angelov Catches El Mechraa Bluffing
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Boris Angelov opened to 2,200 from the hijack and was three-bet to 7,000 by Fahad El Mechraa on the button. Action folded back to Angelov, who called.
Angelov check-called a 6,000 bet from El Mechraa on the 5♣J♥K♥ flop and both players checked on the 5♦ turn.
The K♠ river doubled paired the board and Angelov led out for 6,000. El Mechraa cut out a raise to 16,000 and placed it into the middle, which was met with a quick call by Angelov.
El Mechraa showed A♥6♦ and Angelov turned over A♦J♣ for the best two pair to take down the pot.
