Hammann Gives Up on the Bluff
Level 33
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Benjamin Hammann called from the button before Neculai Macovei raised to 1,600,000 in the big blind. Hammann called and the dealer spread out the 4♥K♥4♦ flop.
Macovei continued for 1,300,000, and Hammann stuck around with a call.
The 2♥ fell on the turn, and after Macovei checked, Hammann bet 1,900,000. Macovei called.
A 3♠ on the river went check, check, and Macovei tabled top pair with K♣J♣. This won Macovei the pot as Hammann mucked J♥9♠ for a bluff.
