Fritz Raises the River As a Bluff
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Manuel Fritz raised to 50,000 from the cutoff with A♦6♦, Zorlu Er called from the small blind with 7♣5♣, and Mikita Badziakouski called from the big blind with J♠9♦.
The flop came 9♠8♠7♠, and all three players checked. The 10♦ hit the turn, and everyone checked again.
The 6♣ landed on the river, and Badziakouski led for 75,000. Fritz raised to 250,000, Er folded, and Badziakouski made the call.
Fritz's A♦6♦ played the straight on the board, while Badziakouski's J♠9♦ made a jack-high straight to take the pot.
