Shalneva Bluffs Into Ugural's Queens

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tarik Ugural opened the cutoff to 2,500 and Mikhail Ostapenko called from the button. Viktoria Shalneva also called in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of A9A and three checks later, a 6 hit the turn. When it got to Shalneva, she bet 3,000, which both Ugural and Ostapenko called.

A 2 fell on the river and Shalneva continued to tell the story that she had a good hand with a bet of 10,000, which Ugural snap-called. Ostapenko let it go.

Shalneva then showed a bluff with 107, and Ugural claimed the pot with a pair of queens holding QQ.
