Yu Elicits Bluff to Double Up
Level 27
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
In a pot worth 280,000, Jingchun Yu check-called a bet from Victor Pobirci on the 8♠K♣10♠ flop. The turn then fell the 2♦, seeing Yu lead out for 135,000.
Pobirci tossed in a call to the 5♠ river, where he was checked to again. Pobirci fired an all-in bet, putting Yu at risk for 750,000. Yu took a few seconds and then slammed in a call for his tournament life.
Pobirci could only show ace-high with A♠Q♥, while Yu had called with K♠J♣ for top pair and won the pot.
