Berg Catches Imsirovic Bluffing

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ryan Leng opened for 17,000 first to act and got two callers in the next two seats, Eli Berg and then Ali Imsirovic. They all checked through to the river on {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Finally, Leng bet 19,000. Berg called and Imsirovic put in 110,000. Leng thought a bit then folded, but Berg quickly called off for 87,000 total.

Imsirovic showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for just one pair on the river, and Berg had the nut one pair: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.
