Shalneva Bluffs Into Ugural's Queens

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

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.
