Zhugralin Sniffs Out Nouira's Bluff
Damir Zhugralin came in with a raise to 24,000 under the gun before Maher Nouira three-bet to 72,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Zhugralin, he called to see a flop.
Both players checked the 8♦5♥J♥ flop to see the A♠ land on the turn. Zhugralin checked, and Nouira fired out a bet of approximately 150,000. Zhugralin took a few moments before making the call.
Zhugralin checked again when the 7♦ landed on the river and Nouira shoved for 579,000. Zhugralin lent back in his chair and pondered for a while before throwing in one chip to indicate call.
Nouira immediately stood up and showed K♠5♠ for bottom pair, as he knew he would be headed to rebuy. Zhugralin had that beat with A♣Q♦ for top pair and the pot was sent to him, while Nouira went to enter again.
