Sibgatova Sniffs Out Bluff
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
The player in middle position opened to 3,000, which the hijack three-bet to 8,000. Alisa Sibgatova called cold in the cutoff, after which the player in middle position folded.
The hijack checked the 2♥7♥4♠ over to Sibgatova, who fired a bet of 5,500. Her opponent called to the 10♥ turn, where he promptly led out for 6,000. Sibgatova put in a call, which she also did when the hijack sized up to 8,000 on the 4♥ river.
The hijack gave the table a friendly pat as he turned over A♠Q♦ for ace-high. Sibgatova tabled her 9♥9♦ for a pair of nines and was awarded the pot.
