Tsoukernik Shows a Bluff
Level 3
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leon Tsoukernik opened to 12,000 from the hijack, Winfred Yu called on the button and Paul Phua raised it up to 65,000. Tsoukernik was the only caller and the flop came down 
.
Phua check-called a bet of 90,000 from Tsoukernik and the 
fell as a turn card. Phua checked to Tsoukernik who bet 150,000 and Phua sent his hand into muck.
Tsoukernik said "It's a bluff," as he turned over 
for ace-high. Phua shook his head and laughed as Tsoukernik stacked his newly acquired chips.
