Ouertani Bluff Catches for a Double-Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Axel Hallay opened to 3,000 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet to 9,500 from Wissam Ouertani in the cutoff. Action folded back to Hallay, who called.
The flop came A♣10♣6♦ and Halley check-called versus a bet of 5,000 from Ouertani.
The 10♥ turn paired the board, and was checked through to the 5♥ river, where Hallay assessed the situation for a moment before jamming with the covering stack.
Ouertani, who started the hand with around 75,000, took a bit of time for thought but ultimately flicked in a calling chip. Hallay tabled Q♦J♦ for the missed gutshot, and Ouertani took the pot with A♠K♥. for two pair, aces and tens.
