Baldwin Catches Braglia Bluffing

Level 36 : 300,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Peter Braglia opened to one million on the button and found one caller in Eric Baldwin in the big blind.

Both players checked on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, and Baldwin checked again on the {4-Diamonds} turn, prompting a 1.3 million bet from Braglia. Baldwin called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board and Baldwin checked a final time. Braglia pushed out a 2.2 million bet, sending Baldwin deep into the tank.

Baldwin eventually put in a call and Braglia showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. It was no good against Baldwin's {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for two pair and he scooped the pot.
