Batyrkhanov Catches Karam Bluffing
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With close to 70,000 already in the middle, the board showed A♠8♦10♥2♣. Meir Batyrkhanov checked from the big blind and then faced a bet of 30,000 from Hala Karam out of the under the gun position. Batyrkhanov made the call.
The river came the board-pairing 2♥ and Batyrkhanov checked. Karam threw in 60,000 and Batyrkhanov let out a huge sigh. Not long after, he made the call and Karam showed a bluff with 6♥5♥. Batyrkhanov took down the pot with A♥Q♣ for a pair of aces.
After the hand, Batyrkhanov said to Karam "I almost folded".
