Moolhuizen Catches Vaka Bluffing
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Two times Unibet Open winner Mateusz Moolhuizen three-bet to 1,700 on the button after Georgios Tavoularis opened to 300 from under the gun, and Monica Vaka called from early position.
Moolhuizen bet 2,400 on the flop 2♥5♥6♦ and made Tavoularis fold. But Vaka check-raised to 5,100. Moolhuizen eventually called, and called again when Vaka fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the turn 7♣.
The 7♦ landed on the river, and Vaka moved all in for 13,200.
"You have deuces, sixes or fives," said Moolhuizen. He explained he couldn't fold, so he called with K♥K♦. Vaka showed A♥10♥ for a missed flush draw that she turned into a bluff, and stood up to leave the tournament area. She is the first player eliminated of the day.
