Bianchi's Monster Bluff Fails
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Three players saw a 
flop together. Matt Berkey was first to act and checked, Chase Bianchi bet 35,000, Filipe Oliveira called on the button, and Berkey called from the blinds. The turn was the 
and Berkey checked. Bianchi fired a second barrel worth 80,000, Oliveira called, and Berkey called to go to the river with three players.
The river was the 
and Berkey checked a third time. Bianchi shoved all in for 300,000 and Oliveira gave up. Berkey, however, used a time bank card, studied the board, then called off the shove.
Knowing his tournament had come to an end, Bianchi flung his 
open on the felt and stood up from his chair. Berkey showed 
for top two pair, while Oliveira indicated he had folded 
. Just like that, Bianchi was gone in 33rd.
