Tsvetanov Catches Bluff for Huge Double-Up

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Presiyan Tsvetanov checked from the big blind on a completed board of 3♦10♣4♥4♦Q♠. The pot amounted to 250,000 chips already, and Jingchun Yu shoved all in from middle position to grow it even further.

Tsvetanov was at risk with his stack of 206,000 and went into the tank. Eventually, he tossed in a chip, calling for his tournament life.

Yu could only show ace-high with his A♣K♦, while Tsvetanov tabled A♦10♠ for the winning pair of tens. He won the massive pot and doubled up to a stack of 80 big blinds.
