Mugar Picks Off a Bluff
Level 22
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Peter Mugar opened to 250,000 from the button and Clemen Deng defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♣9♣6♣, and Deng check-called a 125,000 bet from Muigar.
Both players checked the 9♦ turn, leading to the 8♠ river. Deng overbet to 1,300,000, and Mugar called. Deng could only show a bluff with 5♦3♣, while Mugar had aces up with A♥J♣ to take the pot.
