Moradi Addmori Chips

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board with about 1,500 already in the pot, Canadian Abbas Moradi bet 800 only to be check-raised by his heads-up opponent to 2,100. Moradi made the call to see the {6-Spades} complete the board.

Moradi's opponent deliberated briefly before continuing with a bet of 4,400. Moradi thought for a moment before tossing a yellow 5,000 chip into the pot.

Moradi would take down the pot showing {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} after his opponent tabled a bluff with {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.
