Awad Shows River Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jonathan Burek raised to 800 from under the gun and Rami Awad three-bet to 3,000. Burek called and the big blind came along.
The flop came J♣10♣5♦ and action checked to Awad, who continued the aggression with a bet of 2,500. The big blind folded and Burek called. Both players then checked the 3♦ turn.
The river was the 8♦ and Burek led out for 5,500. Awad didn't believe his opponent and raised it up to 22,000. Burek folded and Awad showed Q♦5♣ for a pair of fives that he'd turned into a bluff.
