Sujeta Hoped Wedde Would Bluff

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Tomas Sujeta
Tomas Sujeta

Oskar Wedde raised to 130,000 from the hijack and Tomas Sujeta defended his big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Sujeta bet 455,000 and Wedde called after confirming the amount.

They both checked through the {7-Hearts} on the turn to the {a-Spades} on the river. Sujeta checked and so did Wedde.

"Fuck, I thought you could bluff!" Sujeta said with some despair in his voice before tabling {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the flopped two pair.

Wedde laughed and he and Peter de Bruin commented about having showdown value.
