Wazwaz Picks Off a Bluff
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 30,000 in the middle and the board reading 9♣8♠6♥4♦, Rob Wazwaz fired out a bet of 17,000 in middle position. The small blind folded but Judith Wiehr wasn't ready to concede the pot in the big blind as she made the call.
The 8♥ paired the board on the river and Wiehr threw in a bet of 25,000. Wazwaz looked her up and Wiehr turned over Q♣J♥ for a missed straight draw. Wazwaz held 10♦9♦ for two pair and was awarded a healthy pot to move him into the chip lead.
