Blanc Catches Naicker Bluffing
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alexandre Blanc made it 300,000 to go with the Q♣J♣ and Naven Naicker became the only caller from the big blind with the 8♣7♣. The J♥5♣3♠ flop saw Naicker with an idea as he check-raiosed from 200,000 to 800,000 on just eight-high. Blanc called with the top pair and they checked the K♣ turn to the 3♥ river. Naicker bet 1,100,000 and was snap-called by his French opponent, allowing Blanc to take over the lead six-handed.
