Esau's Bluff Catch Puts Him Over a Milly
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
On a completed board of 9♣2♥K♣6♣J♥ and with roughly 350,000 in the middle, Igor Abelmasov shoved from the big blind for Paul Esau's stack of 361,000.
Esua, who was seated on the button, was visibly uncomfortable with the spot he was in. After giving a lot of thought, Esau flicked in a chip to indicate a call.
Abelmasov turned over a bluff with A♠10♣, and had to send over a large portion of his stack to Esau, who revealed 9♥9♠ for a flopped set.
Esau's correct bluff catch earned him the pot of over a million, while Abelmasov was down to around 350,000
