Nemeth Picks Wrong Moment to Bluff-Catch

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

Action was on the turn on a board of 6♣2♠2♣3♠ with around 170,000 in the middle. Sebastian Malec made it 100,000 to go and Andras Nemeth made the call.

The river came the 2♦ and Malec announced that he was "all in" with the covering stack. Nemeth went deep into the tank, using three time bank cards to make his decision before opting to call.

Malec showed Q♠Q♦ for a full house, deuces full of queens. Nemeth was left stunned and the dealer prompted him to turn over his cards.

Nemeth showed A♠10♠. He'd missed his flush draw and was using his hand as a bluff-catcher. Unfortunately for Nemeth, Malec was far from bluffing. Malec scooped in the pot and Nemeth was eliminated.

Valeriano Toledano raised to 16,000 under the gun and Nacho Barbero called on the button. Dmitrii Prusov then moved all in for 130,000 in the small blind and Toledano called, while Barbero took a moment before folding.

Dmitrii Prusov: A♣9♣ All in
Valeriano Toledano: 10♣10♦

"Ace-jack, I had," Barbero said as Toledano and Prusov saw the Q♣9♠Q♦ flop, which gave both players two pair. The rest of the board came 2♠6♦ and Toledano's tens stayed in the lead to send Prusov to the rail as he boosted his stack past 1,000,000.

Following an open-raise to 12,000 from under the gun, Gianfranco Iaculli called, then Constantin Cirstea three-bet to 37,000. Jeremie Zouari called in the small blind, the original raiser folded, and Iaculli also made the call.

The flop came A♦4♣A♠ and action checked to Cirstea, who continued with a bet of 65,000. Zouari used two time bank cards before making the call, further inflating the pot.

Iaculli then check-raised to 150,000 and Cirstea moved all in for 275,000. Zouari quickly folded and the decision was back on Iaculli, who sighed and went into the tank himself before opting to call.

Iaculli had A♥10♣ for trip aces, but Cirstea was ahead as he flipped over A♣K♥ for trip aces with a higher kicker.

The turn came the 6♦ and river the 7♠. Cirstea held to pull in a huge pot that brought his stack up to around 700,000.

"Merry Christmas," said one of his tablemates.

Jungevicius said he was bluffing, but Mustafov replied that he was never folding.
