Boudreau Picks Off Yazdi's Massive Bluff

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Kevin Boudreau

Kevin Boudreau opened to 200,000 under the gun, and Reza Yazdi three-bet to 575,000 in the small blind. Boudreau called, and the flop came {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Yazdi fired 1 million, and Boudreau thought for a bit and called. The turn brought a {4-Clubs}. Yazdi checked after some time, and Boudreau immediately checked it back. On the {q-Clubs} river, Yazdi bet 1.5 million, about what Boudreau had left. Boudreau leaned forward put his head in his hand for the first at the final table, clearly deep in thought. He slid forward a few stacks, counting down what he had left. About 30 seconds later, he placed one of them in the middle.

Yazdi rapped the table and tossed {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} into the middle, an airball.

"Show the pocket pair," Max Chrisp said. "Show the pocket pair!"

Indeed, Boudreau rolled over {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and his rail celebrated wildly.
