Peretz Picks Off Bystrenin's Bluff

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Yaniv Peretz
Yaniv Peretz

Martin Brinkmann opened to 1,300 from under the gun and Oleg Bystrenin called in the next seat. Yaniv Peretz also called from the big blind.

The flop came 3J4 and after two checks, Bystrenin bet 1,500. Peretz then made it 5,000 to go, Brinkmann folded, and Bystrenin called.

The 3 turn saw Peretz keep the aggression up with a bet of 8,200, which Bystrenin called to the 6 river. Peretz then took some time before he slowed down with a check, and Bystrenin bet 23,500.

Peretz mulled it over for around thirty seconds before he eventually called.

Bystrenin then sheepishly flipped over 98 for a missed flush draw, and Peretz tabled the winner with KJ for a pair of jacks.
