Vaitiekunas Picks Off Another Bluff
Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Paulius Vaitiekunas was in the cutoff and raised to 800,000. Mohamed El-Wely flat-called from the small blind, and the duo went heads up to the 2♠J♥5♥ flop.
Vaitekunas continued for 725,000, but El-Wely check-raised to 2,700,000. Vaitiekunas tossed in calling chips, and the Q♣ graced the felt on the turn.
Vaitekunas checked, after which El-Wely sized up to 3,225,000. Vaitiekunas called to the 2♦ river, where the players checked it to showdown.
El-Wely could only show king-high with K♥10♦, meaning Vaitiekunas chipped up further with A♥J♣ for second pair.
