Maurer Bluffs His Neighbor
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With 30,000 already in the middle, Marcel Maurer and Ioannis Chorianopoulos were staring at a flop of 8♣6♠6♥. Maurer checked first from the small blind before facing a bet of 7,500 from Chorianopoulos out of the big blind. Maurer continued via a call.
Two checks came after the 4♥ turn to see a 5♦ land on the river. Maurer fired for 26,000, and after deliberating for a while, Chorianopoulos returned his cards to the dealer.
As the pot headed over to Maurer, he windmilled 10♥9♥ for a bluff across the table, ensuring everyone saw.
