Kliper Cannot Find Bluff
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexandru Papazian opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was called by Arie Kliper on the button as well as the big blind player.
The big blind checked to Papazian on a flop of 
and he continued for 21,000. Kliper called while the big blind folded to send action heads-up to the turn.
Papazian slowed down following the 
turn, checking to Kliper who took over the betting lead by firing off 50,000. That was not enough to get rid of Papazian who just called.
The 
river saw Papazian check for a second time and, after considerable thought, Kliper checked back before mucking after Papazian turned over
