Anton Bluffs It Off

Vladimir Alekseev was in middle position and raised to 6,000. Virgile Turchi and Alex Anton called in the blinds, and the trio saw a 4♠4♥10♦ flop. It checked to Alekseev, and he continued for 7,000.

Turchi quickly folded, but Anton took the aggressive route and raised to 23,000. Alekseev called to the 2♦ turn, where he called again when Anton bet 42,000.

Anton then moved all in for 126,000 on the A♣ river. Alekseev sighed, but decided he could not fold and called with the covering stack.

Anton stood up as he showed down 3♥3♦ for a bluff. A relieved Alekseev showed Q♥Q♣, and he won the hand to send Anton to the rail.
