Zukowicz Catches a Bluff

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Monika Zukowicz
Monika Zukowicz

Feng Qu opened from middle position and Monika Zukowicz called from the hijack.

Both players checked the Q104 flop leading to the 2 on the turn. Qu bet 4,000, Zukowicz check-raised to to 10,500 and Qu made the call.

The 3 river completed the potential backdoor flush draw and Qu bet 32,000. Zukowicz thought for roughly 45 seconds before making the call.

Qu could only show A9 for a pure bluff while Zukowicz tabled 22 for bottom set to take down a sizable pot.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya also recently sat down at this table and is off to a good start on his second bullet, having already doubled up from his starting stack.
