Wantman Catches Chernikov Bluffing
Level 11
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 12,500 from the small blind and Matthew Wantman defended his big blind.
Chernikov bet 15,000 on the J♥A♠8♣ flop, and Wantman called to see the 5♦ turn. Chernikov fired once more, this time for 35,000. Once again, Wantman just called.
When the 2♣ dropped on the river, Chernikov jammed for Wantman's stack of 107,000, and Wantman immediately called.
Chernikov could only show a bluff with K♠5♠, and lost the pot to Wantman's A♣2♠ for two pair.
