Shalneva Chooses Not to Try & Bluff Esau
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Paul Esau raised to 10,000 from the cutoff and Viktoria Shalneva defended her big blind.
Shalneva check-called a bet of 8,000 from Esau on the A♣4♣7♥ flop.
After Shalneva checked the 9♠ turn, Esau placed out a second barrel of 28,000. A few moments later, Shalneva check-raised to 75,000. Esau continued with a call.
Both players checked the 2♦ river and Shalneva showed a busted combo-draw with J♣8♣. Esau flipped up A♠10♠ for a pair of aces, and another pot was pushed over to him.
