Wakil Sniffs Out a Bluff to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Atanas Malinov bet 7,000 from the button on a flop of 5♦10♦Q♣ and Kazuhiko Yotsushika called in the small blind, as did Jamil Wakil in the cutoff.
The turn was the K♦ and action checked to Malinov again who this time bet 15,000. Yotsushika folded, but Wakil stuck around to see the 3♣ river.
Malinov then moved all in, having Wakil's last 74,500 covered, and Wakil tanked for a minute before calling. Malinov showed A♦9♣ for ace-high and Wakil turned over J♠9♠ for a straight to double up.
Santhosh Suvarna reentered and took his seat at this table, bringing today's field up to 52 entries and surpassing yesterday's total with still three levels of late registration remaining.
