Sochneu Catches Check-Raise Bluff
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Catching the tail end of a blind-on-blind battle between Matas Cimbolas and Siarhei Sochneu, Cimbolas checked the completed board of 2♠9♣Q♣6♦J♦ over to Sochneu.
Sochneu then added 300,000 to the pot of 700,000, to which Cimbolas responded with a raise to 1,275,000.
After some thought, Sochneu flicked in a call. Cimbolas showed a pair of nines with his 10♦9♦, but Sochneu had the higher pair with Q♦10♥, chipping him up further.
